First Public Working Draft: ContentEditable

Following the publication of this FPWD the Working Group intends to publish this document as a Discontinued Draft and cease further work on it. This does not affect the definition of contenteditable=true, contenteditable=false and contenteditable=plaintext-only as they can be found in [HTML]. Nor does it affect execCommand which is described in another unofficial draft document.
