No. The property is platform dependent. It's just that UAs on Windows and
Linux don't use none in most cases.
Do they ever use it?
After playing with selection in various Mac OSX apps and reading the earlier
discussion on this list, I agree that the spec does the best possible
cross-platform implementation after all.
I apologize for bringing this back up, and thank you for your responses.

The spec (
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#dom-textarea/input-selectiondirection)
currently allows for platform-specific differences in selectionDirection
that limit its usefulness. Tightening the requirements to be
platform-independent will allow selectionDirection to be used

Are there arguments against making selectionDirection explicitly
forward or backward if the user modifies the selection, regardless
of platform?
It wouldn't match the platform on platforms that don't do that.

It looks like editors using a textarea (such as codemirror) are
currently working around this by not drawing a cursor when there is a
selection.
In ignorance of the specificatory problem you describe, this seems sane
