As far as I know, there is no actively maintained editing spec at the moment. Aryeh's document is a great start but by no means should it be considered complete, or the standard to which you should target an implementation... I think we would [currently] prefer to discuss specific issues here on the mailing list until a regular editor can be found-so thanks for bringing this up!
By the way, what you suggest sounds reasonable for the behavior.

Is Aryeh still a fulltime student? There is an effort at Chromium to make deletion of non-editable subelements work according to the spec, but the spec doesn't seem to anything about this. See: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=238000 Who could we ask to get the sepcification updated with information about this? Our current suggestion is that backspacing/deleting into it selects it, and a second hit on backspace/delete will remove it. The most important to me though is to have clarity on this. -- Johannes Wilm Fidus Writer http://www.fiduswriter.com<http://www.fiduswriter.com/>
