Description Aryeh Gregor 2011-09-22 18:47:56 UTC 
As discussed at various points in the WHATWG, the user shouldn't be allowed to create arbitrary selections.  I have to define exactly what selections are allowed, and say when the selection needs to be normalized accordingly.
Comment 1 Aryeh Gregor 2012-05-23 08:04:01 UTC 
Example raised by John Bilicki III (http://www.jabcreations.com/) in private e-mail: if you have something like <span>foo</span><span>bar</span>, it should never be possible for the start of a selection to be at (foo, 3), nor the end to be at (bar, 0), except if the selection is collapsed.
