I don't think we want to support using SVG elements for editing scenarios at the moment. Let’s focus on making editing HTML elements better for now. I think the API is fine the way it is hanging off of HTMLElement. 88347 2 kochi 2013-05-29 02:08:13 +0000 Thanks for the input. I'm still studying feasibility for this, and let's keep this open until we find good reasons to or not to do so for SVG element. Currently SVG element can be focus-able with tabindex and can get key events, so the same could be done for composition events. 90334 3 kochi 2013-07-04 07:22:57 +0000 If we allow just receiving DOM compositionevents on any SVG element which have focus (just like keydown events), it would be more consistent between HTMLElement and SVGElement. As Travis commented in #1, allowing contenteditable on SVG element should be a hard thing, but just allowing it to handle composition event and allow Javascript code to draw the composition wouldn't add much complexity to SVG code. I'll investigate this further for this but this can be dropped from the first version of IME API, as the need for this should not be so big. 94543 4 kochi 2013-10-10 06:03:03 +0000 As the method was changed to a property (getInputContext() -> .inputMethodContext), changed the subject accordingly. 103541 5 kochi 2014-04-08 05:21:09 +0000 Somebody will revisit this once this is required for a useful purpose.
