The ability to independently access and modify each individual
selection from inside a command or plugin would make TextMate much more
powerful and life a lot easier for plugin/bundle developers. Things
like 'Expand selection to enclosing HTML/XML tags' or 'Wrap selections
in tag (with multiple selections)' would become simple and quick rather
than a futile exercise attempting to shoehorn that functionality into
the current system.
Just my opinion, thanks for a great text editor and a piece of software
I couldn't live without. :) Take care,

The current (textmate 1) plugin has some functionality that I don't
think I will be able to implement, like selecting matching tags.
AFAIK
there isn't a way to update the selection from a bundle command.
Part of the problem is that Emmet is written in javascript, so I have
to bundle Node in my bundle for it to work.
I realize things are still in flux, so a bundle command that gets me
the most useful features of emmet will work fine, but a more official
plugin API would be cool.
I'd try to come up with something, but I'm still learning how
TextMate2 works.
I'll see where this bundle solution works.

It works on selections or if the cursor is at the end of the Emmet
expression.
How it works
From what I can tell, when an Emmet expand action is executed, it
looks at the carret position/selection and determines if the
selection contains a valid expansion expression (or if the text
proceeding the carret is a valid expression if there is no
selection).
When the plugin is ready to perform the expansion, it tells TM to
select the contents of the expansion expression, and calls
`insertSnippetWithOptions` to replace the contents it with the
expanded contents.
It sounds like this could be done as a regular bundle command:
Input: Selection or Line¹
Output: Replace Input, Format: Snippet
Am I missing something?
¹ Presently this fallback input is not exposed in TM2’s bundle
editor. You need to edit the XML of the tmCommand and insert:
<key>fallbackInput</key>
<string>line</string>
