Comment:
I am 100% opposed to removing the selectionStart, selectionEnd, and
selectionRange properties/methods from input fields of type "number".  Major
sites/applications use these props/methods every day to provide helpful UI
Tools to their users that  now completely break in any user agent that
"regresses" to remove these properties/methods. (e.g. Chrome)
