* notification.
*
* "request-to-cancel" (required to be handled)

* This is notified when the callback is detached from
* nsITextInputProcessor. I.e., the TextInputProcessor lost the rights
* to input text and needs to call .beginInputTransaction() before next
* input.
*
* "notify-focus" (optional)
* This is notified when an editable editor gets focus and Gecko starts
* to observe changes in the content. E.g., selection changes.
* IME shouldn't change DOM tree, focus nor something when this is notified.
*
* "notify-blur" (optional)
* This is notified when an editable editor loses focus and Gecko stops
* observing the changes in the content.

* "notify-text-change" (optional)
* This is notified when text in the focused editor is modified.
* Some attributes below are available to retrieve the detail.
* IME shouldn't change DOM tree, focus nor something when this is notified.
* Note that when there is no chance to notify you of some text changes
* safely, this represents all changes as a change.

* "notify-selection-change" (optional)
* This is notified when selection in the focused editor is changed.
* Some attributes below are available to retrieve the detail.
* IME shouldn't change DOM tree, focus nor something when this is notified.
* Note that when there was no chance to notify you of this safely, this
* represents the latest selection change.

* This is notified when layout is changed in the editor or the window
* is moved.
* IME shouldn't change DOM tree, focus nor something when this is notified.
* Note that when there was no chance to notify you of this safely, this
