*
* "notify-end-input-transaction" (optional)
* This is notified when the callback is detached from
* nsITextInputProcessor. I.e., the TextInputProcessor lost the rights
* to input text and needs to call .beginInputTransaction() before next
* input.
*
* "notify-focus" (optional)
* This is notified when an editable editor gets focus and Gecko starts
* to observe changes in the content. E.g., selection changes.
* IME shouldn't change DOM tree, focus nor something when this is notified.
*
* "notify-blur" (optional)
* This is notified when an editable editor loses focus and Gecko stops
* observing the changes in the content.

* nsITextInputProcessorCallback is a callback interface for JS to implement

* called with nsITextInputProcessorNotification instance.
* The reason why onNotify() uses string simply is that if we will support
* other notifications such as text changes and selection changes, we need to
* notify IME of some other information. Then, only changing
* nsITextInputProcessorNotification interface is better for compatibility.
