Re: [svgwg] ::selection and other highlights in SVG (#894)

<img width="3679" height="1410" alt="results of different test in safari, firefox and chrome" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/908fb933-091a-4b7f-bc79-a97b7cae7f4d" />

So summary:
Columns: Safari, Firefox, Chrome
Rows: 
* `text::selection {color: green}` https://codepen.io/webcompat/full/EaPmYdm
* `text::selection {fill: green}` https://codepen.io/webcompat/full/gbPWYQZ
* `text::selection {stroke: blue}` https://codepen.io/webcompat/full/xbZdKMX
* `text::selection {stroke: blue; stroke-width: 2px;}` https://codepen.io/webcompat/full/RNrVbde 

We can notice that 
1. Firefox doesn't know about `fill`, `stroke` and `stroke-width` at all. 
2. Chrome and Safari have the same behavior mostly, except that Chrome shows a selection background per default once you apply a change of style. `color` has no effect for Chrome and Safari. 

Opened on Bugzilla Mozilla.
