I'm using multiple range selection very often. From every day to a couple of times a week. My main usage is when I use bookmarking services and I want to keep part of an article which are distant. Basically a "text1 […] text2 […] text3" scenario. I select when reading, and when finish I can bookmark all my selections in once. Also when I want to remove some noise from a paragraph. It's a lot more practical than having to create individual bookmark for each part OR to have to select, bookmark and cut. As a user I find that essential and very practical (implementation details apart). -- Karl Dubost 🐄 http://www.la-grange.net/karl/
