patch to add support for designMode and contentEditable attributes

[Ken Kocienda]

We are doing some work in WebCore to add editing. We are at a very 
early stage right now. I can't comment on schedules or release dates, 
but we will be sending patches to this list, so you can track our 
progress in that way if you like. I have looked at your patches to add 
caret navigation and such, and it seems likely there will be overlap 
between our efforts if we do not coordinate at some point. Perhaps as 
time goes by, and more patches flow through the list, it might make 
sense to coordinate our efforts at some level.

Should you continue your work? I cannot say. Given that we cannot 
provide any guarantees about features or schedules, you may want to 
continue your work in the hope that you can attain your goals with 
greater assurance as to the outcome.
