The separation helps move the selection API forward in the standards process.  
The problem here is that reviewing and agreeing on exact details of execCommand 
and other parts of the existing HTML Editing APIs specification is 
significantly harder than just reviewing and agreeing on the part of the spec 
that defines the selection API.
