-<li> An alternative solution would be to specify that once composition is started it will always result in an 'NPCocoaEventTextInput' event and canceled compositions will simply result in an 'NPCocoaEventTextInput' event with an empty string. Unlike the currently proposed solution this has the downside of potential backwards-compatibility issues. Adobe Flash?

-<li> Another alternative: In order to provide the plugin with information about whether or not there is a complex text composition in progress we will bump the 'NPCocoaEvent' version to '2'. If a plugin receives an 'NPCocoaEvent' with a version of '2' or higher then the key structure will contain a field of type 'NPBool' called 'compositionInProgress'. The 'compositionInProgress' field is only valid for 'NPCocoaEventKeyDown' events. It will be set to false when no composition is in progress and true when a composition is in progress.
