Description Ryosuke Niwa 2014-02-14 19:57:30 UTC 
http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-range-bp-set
should check if "node" argument belongs to the same owner document as that of the context object.

If not, Gecko and WebKit both collapse the range to the new start/end and change its owner document to the new document.

I don't understand. The context object doesn't have an associated document per the specification.

Ping?

Oh, I see. So DOM4's Range doesn't have an associated document.  And we simply guarantee that start & end have the same root.  That makes sense.

Thanks for pointing that out.
