The Selectors Level 3 specification should probably go into more detail on
how boxes for ::selection are to be generated so that it's clear how it
interacts with other styles, etc. That would also help if someone decides
to support background-image for ::selection.
WebKit and Gecko support it in such a way that it doesn't affect the
selection color of child elements. So if you have:
p::selection { background:lime }
<p>FOO<span>BAR</span>BAZ</p>
and someone selects "FOOBARBAZ" "BAR" will have the default selection
color. I don't really care about how this is going to be done, but I'd
like it to be defined.
(It would probably be good if someone tackled ::first-letter and
::first-line too which have similar issues.)
