--- Comment #2 from Masayuki Nakano <masayuki at d-toybox.com> ---
FYI: Firefox will ship `beforeinput` with the following hack because of this WebKit's bug and Blink's same bug (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1051844).

1. Will fire `beforeinput` event when user uses build-in autocomplete etc.
2. Set its `inputType` to `insertReplacementText` as defined by the spec.
3. But make it not cancelable for protecting Firefox users from web apps which unexpectedly blocks default actions of `insertReplacementText`.
