[[
11) The description of the keydown event says that the default action of
a keydown is to dispatch a textInput event for events that generate
text. But above, at the start of 5.2.6.1, it says that keypress is
generated before textInput. One or the other of these must be wrong.

Related notes:

Revision 1.160. Updated default action of keydown to be keypress. If the UA does not support keypress (since it is deprecated), the default action of keydown is textinput. For UA's that support keypress, the default action of keypress is textinput. Removed ambiguous statement about implementation dependence as the new spec text handles these differences.
