    <thetext>I don&apos;t think we should leave something as important as selection behavior completely undefined. On the other hand, the selection behavior is currently underspec&apos;ed and defining the selection&apos;s behavior in general is outside the scope of the shadow DOM specification.

However, the non-normative text that follows &quot;here&apos;s one possible, admittedly naive way&quot; is actively harmful since it&apos;s contradicting the discussion following http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2013OctDec/0106.html</thetext>

    <thetext>I think it makes sense to leave selection handling undefined given that effectively it&apos;s undefined on the web. I.e. the specs that we have for selection handling doesn&apos;t actually reflect reality, and it&apos;s not clear that there&apos;s consensus to implement them.

I do tend to agree though that including a non-normative suggestion which I believe two vendors have stated they do not think is a good suggestion doesn&apos;t seem terribly useful though, and will likely cause more confusion than have any positive impact.

I can&apos;t say I feel super strongly though.</thetext>
