* "notify-focus" (optional)

* 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)

* 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.
