Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/editing.html
Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#contenteditable

Comment:
"Editable" would be simpler if you defined it recursively, like: "An HTML
element is editable if either its contenteditable attribute is set to the true
state, or it is the root element of a Document that has designMode enabled, or
its contenteditable attribute is set to the inherit state and its parent is
editable."

Never mind, I'll just redefine this in the editing commands spec.
