We do have a public test case for the 2nd scenario -- compositionstart event type is generated after a keydown event: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/ietestcenter/domevents/compositionstart.keydown.html --- Recommended fix is to correct the statement in http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#events-compositionevents to match implementations and eliminate this contradiction. 65268 1 travil 2012-03-10 01:06:38 +0000 Now fixed in revision 1.214 http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/DOM-Level-3-Events/html/DOM3-Events.html?rev=1.214 65271 2 travil 2012-03-10 01:12:18 +0000 As the opener, I verify that this has been fixed.
