I haven't yet added this.

I think we should probably address the various problems with 
contenteditable all at once, to make sure the solution is coherent 
overall. I'm watching what happens with the mutation event changes and 
tracking proposals for various other changes to contentEditable.

It may be that we need to defer these changes to after HTML5 reaches last
call, though, and have them in a future version next year some time.
