Research direction

Start by reading the related WHATWG issue 682 and the input-events.html discussion linked here, then compare the HTML Standard's existing event-handler attributes. Confirm the intended compositionstart and compositionend semantics and add the corresponding attributes consistently; done means the standard defines both handlers without conflicting with the referenced event model.

Description

addition/proposal

Related https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/682

http://w3c.github.io/editing/input-events.html says something about compositionstart and compositionend events and these appear to be supported in Firefox/Chrome/WebKit (haven't tested Edge).

http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/3882 (type e.g. ¨ then space or so)

But there are no event handler attributes for these. For consistency I think we should add them.
