The guy who decided that The Key You Use To Delete Stuff From A Text Box should, if the focus moves out of the text box and onto the surrounding page, become The Key You Use To Move Backwards In Page History really needs to be beaten with a tyre iron. I mean, sure, being contextual is a wonderful thing, but Correcting A One-Letter Mistake vs. Discarding The Entire Form You Just Typed In does not really correlate with the Principle Of Least User Surprise in any useful way.
