I don't think it's consistent at all. In one case, you're calling a
Selection method. In the other case, you're calling a Range method.
Range methods shouldn't behave differently based on whether the Range
is attached to a Selection. You actually have no way of telling
whether a given Range is part of a Selection, right?
Gecko knows if a Range is part of a Selection or not.
It's pretty much a one-line change to reject detached nodes if we want.

True, I'm just saying that I don't see any practical problems in
implementing live ranges to manipulate the Selection if we want to.
