> [09:14] <Hixie> i am so not looking forward to working out how Selection.modify() works I'm sorry, I just thought it was better to have it specified before a third incompatible implementation came about.
Doing this properly probably needs DOM Range to be respecified first. In fact, we should probably move all of the Selection interface to DOM Range.
ms2ger: Can we put Selection in your DOM Range spec?
Working on this now.
Moving Selection-related bugs to editing: see bug 14248, bug 14252.
