Reportedly, Safari lets users do bold/italics/underline from the context menu and by the usual shortcuts. We should note explicitly that they can do this. It might be a good idea for authors to be able to override this in some fashion, too.
For overriding, authors can use the "beforeeditaction" event, right?
If the author just cancels the event to override it, then a context menu option will do nothing. It would be better if the author could tell the browser not to provide the context menu option at all.
Good point.
