We should probably move Selection into the new DOM Range spec.
I can do that, but I am not planning to put a lot of work in that spec. (And I'm certainly not planning to spec innerText…)
I think innerText needs to be in CSSOM, since it depends on CSS a lot as I understand it.
Ms2ger: Ok let's yank Selection from HTML and move it to Range. Should I just extract all the spec source material on this and attach it to this bug? Mike: Is there a bug component Web DOM Range, and if not, can we create one? FWIW, I'm not really worried about who specs Range. When I finally get around to working on execCommand again and the rest of contentEditable, I'll need Range, so if it doesn't have an editor at that point I can take over. I'm punting on that for a while though, need to get the stuff we have written so far sorted out and ready to go. Having everything Range-related in one place (like Selection) makes getting the rest of the stuff ready sooner easier.
(In reply to comment #3) > Mike: Is there a bug component Web DOM Range, and if not, can we create one? added as a new component in WebApps WG product: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/describecomponents.cgi?product=WebAppsWG http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/buglist.cgi?product=WebAppsWG&component=DOM%20Range

Actually, this still needs to go from HTML, I guess.
Do you have a link to the actual spec so that I can see what I should remove? (Or even better, to the diff of what you changed... the URL you gave doesn't include the relevant diff.)

I am planning to do some work on this spec since I feel I can contribute. I have meant to start doing so sooner but I've been rather busy. If any parts are more urgent or off limits then please tell me. I'm hoping to start doing a little work on it later today.
I'm sure nothing's off limits. :-)
