SoftKeyboard is always deactivated when changing orientation on Honeycomb tablets

Problem:
SoftKeyboard is always deactivated when changing orientation on Honeycomb tablets. This does not match native Android applications where the SoftKeyboard stays visible after an orientation change. This does not match the AIR or native behavior on iOS or PlayBook either.

Method:
1) Run the attached APK on a honeycomb tablet
2) Click on either TextField to activate the soft keyboard
3) Change device orientation

Result:
Keyboard is automatically deactivated.

Expected:
Keyboard should stay active to match the native honeycomb behavior.

Workaround:
The SOFT_KEYBOARD_DEACTIVATE event isn't cancelable. We would need a platform-specific workaround to reactivate the keyboard after an orientation change.
