The exact behaviour of <BS>, <DEL>, and cursor keys is yet to be defined to 
make this a complete spec. What happens when i press <BS> e.g. 8 times? What, 
when i press <LEFT> <DEL> <END> <BS>?
Obviously <BS> should edit last sylable, but can you edit completed sylables 
(needs back-"translation" unicode->keystrokes!), and how does cursor movement 
affect closing sylables?

just my 2 cents
