[whatwg] Fixing undo on the Web - UndoManager and Transaction

[Ryosuke Niwa]

So the argument is that authors will never call apply themselves. Only
browsers would. If you can come up with a use case where authors need to
call apply function with a boolean value, then I'm more than happy to drop
the boolean argument and just have apply, unapply, reapply.
