Description

I wonder if edit context could also support an undo manager (for all the reasons and use cases described in that issue). It looks to me that once you have an edit context, pushing and poping things from the undo/redo stack should be compatible. In a way, it is one more thing which happens between input event and displaying the result in UI.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked W3C editing issue and the EditContext API proposal to understand the undo and redo use cases. Define the required integration and acceptance criteria before implementation; done would require an agreed design rather than a single localized code change.
