- Also, if you want to be able to use promises you need to be able to save
- what was promised. For example by keeping in the promise object the range
- of characters selected. Any changes to this range should trigger a
- fulfill promise. Changing the insertion should not be a reason to fulfill
- the promise. The next version of ODF will make that a little easier to do
- that with the introduction of a content object.
