A single specification that innerText, selection, etc… could refer to.

A single specifiation for innerText? Or the underlying primitive that
is also required for text selection?

There was interest in the room at TPAC at making this a new unique spec 
deliverable under webapps.

Hi,

Is either one of you working on innerText specification?
(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2014Mar/0008.html)

I think we need it for the selection API specification because the concept of 
being "visually equivalent" and selection.toString need to be defined in terms 
of it.

Last I checked, none of the browser vendors were interested in converging 
on a single definition, so I haven't look at it in a while. It appears 
that it depends on the current style sheets, at a minimum.

Seems we've filed at least two bugs on this:

   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13145
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25159

As you say, Selection.toString() depends on this; the relevant bug is in a 
similar state:
