The input path for Seamonkey needs to be Unicode Internally. We need the XPWidget/XPToolkit code to map between native platform events and Unicode for keyboard input (see bug #4819) and we need the DOM/Core group to provide a Unicode clean in the areas of event flow that they own. The International group will be providing an adapter layer to map between the native platform character set and unicode. We need the DOM/Core group to provide access to thheir module through APIs which take Unicode character data, and we need them to make sure that the internal data path is Unicode clean. See related bug #4816, #4817, #4819

Could you be a bit clearer on what you need from us here? Access to the DOM should be through DOM api's which provide data in Unicode format. So what's the problem?

I've been asked to break some of the event handling bugs into two pieces since part of them belong to the Gecko/Core/DOM group and part of them belong to the XPWidget/XPToolkit areas, so that we can track responsibility for deliverables against both groups. Currently the DOM API's provide Unicode access, but they are not completely Unicode clean since I can only type in the ASCII range of characters - there is no support for extended characters found in European languages.

Blocker for M5 IME deliverable.

Moving off M5 radar since Tom is out of town.

This was fixed in M5. Moving to verified since its a code/design issue.
