I'm not sure if any sites depend on the Gecko/Trident behavior, but I imagine any such sites also work in Webkit/Blink. So I'm fine with changing this unless anyone knows of an important dependency.

WebKit and Blink both return a clone Range so that any changes to the Range doesn't update the selection. It appears that there is a moderate interest at Mozilla to change Gecko's behavior. Does anyone have a strong opinion about this? - R. Niwa
