I later saw Ehsan say that that isn't what "all" is meant to do at
all.  MDN describes it as "In an HTML editor, if a double-click or
context-click occurred in sub-elements, the highest ancestor with this
value will be selected."
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/-moz-user-select>  So a new
"atomic" value might be needed.

What are the use-cases for user-select: auto?
