See test case. Opera/WebKit agree. Not sure who is wrong.

On further thought, the WebKit/Opera behavior seems more correct to me, but I'll leave this open till we hear from Mozilla folk. Would be nice to be consistent.

See: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/editing/raw-file/tip/editing.html

I've filed https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15134 asking for spec clarification.

IE, Webkit, and Opera all seem to agree that every Window has a Selection.  This is what the spec says too.  Gecko's behavior is more complicated and in the minority, so I haven't changed the spec.

Thanks! Won't fix this bug per Aryeh's spec.
