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.

   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:
