Agreed on all points, FWIW. I'm not totally sure what the most sensible behavior is for backspacing into a non-editable element is, but selecting is a reasonable idea that the spec already recommends for tables (although I don't think anyone implements that point last I checked). It makes it clear that the next backspace will delete the whole thing, which would otherwise be very surprising -- e.g., suppose it were a simple run of text that wasn't visually distinguishable from the surrounding editable content.
