[[
current spec text says about the keypress event:

> This event type shall be generated after the keyboard mapping
> but before the processing of an input method editor, normally
> associated with the dispatching of a compositionstart, compositionupdate,
> or compositionend event.

I think this is wrong, if an IME is actively processing the input no
keypress event should fire.
