Description Takayoshi Kochi 2013-05-10 05:01:23 UTC 
As the method always return the same object for the same
HTMLElement, getInputContext() may sound wrong that it may
create a new context every time it is invoked.

In the meantime, the return type 'InputMethodContext' doesn't
match the method name, thus .inputMethodContext property
will be appropriate.
Comment 1 Travis Leithead [MSFT] 2013-05-28 21:56:37 UTC 
We are still discussing this internally, but from my perspective, this sounds reasonable.
Comment 2 Takayoshi Kochi 2013-05-29 03:34:16 UTC 
Changed Editor's draft to .inputMethodContext.
