Re: [selection-api] caret-based selection movement (#27)

Yes, so the spec for Japanese would include a description a la "space based word boundary movement does not apply. word boundary movement does either not take place at all or follows a dictionary based pattern. If we were talking about a special way the caret has to move around the Danish/Norwegian æ-character, which doesn't apply to any other language, I would agree that maybe it would be overkill to spec that. But for anything related to 8 of the top 10 languages on the internet (Roman/Russian/Greek alphabet based) it seems like this should be something we should be concerned with.

Now the issue with different behavior in Mac OS X and Windows may be more complicated and we should find out what to do about that.
