Managing exponential slowdowns in large documents and browser-specific engine thrashing.
When a contenteditable region is inside an iframe, its behavior may differ from when it's in the main document. Selection, focus, and event handling may be inconsistent.
When a contenteditable region contains child elements with contenteditable="false", the behavior is inconsistent. Some browsers allow editing within these elements, while others correctly prevent it.
When a contenteditable region is inside a table cell (`<td>`), editing the content may cause layout issues in Firefox. The table may resize unexpectedly or the cell may overflow.
When a contenteditable element has CSS filters applied (blur, brightness, etc.), editing performance may be degraded. Typing may lag, and selection may be slow to update.
