Chrome loves linefeed characters instead of <br> in contenteditable. Changing the behavior for contenteditable=true might be risky. I think that we should change our behavior only for contenteditable=plaintext-only first.

However, probably we need to change the behavior of inserting padding <br> for empty editor and last line since web apps do not assume linefeed and <br>s are mixed in same editing host.

Ah, textContent does not convert <br> to \n. So, it might be important to support this.

It seems that it's okay to use <br> for empty paragraph. It's same as Chrome and Safari. However, they delete the padding <br> at typing something. We should follow it.
