If this is the solution to not using the special hacky character, and compared 
to that solution, I'm a dancing

+1 for b)

We might as well leave it act like it does on FF and otherwise on IE. It's not 
that big of a deal, I feel, since it addresses a very niche usecase: a user 
tries to start typing bold inside a word. Also, it will cause troubles only if 
a 
user switches between browsers currently ('cause otherwise he just gets used 
with the behaviour in his loved browser and lives with it).

Happy coding,
