Yes.

If we allow `execCommand()` to work against CE=events, as @rniwa suggested, it's workable, but it's possible that Blink/WebKit move the canonicalizations to the top of `execCommand()` (or to the top of each command in `execCommand()`), so `execCommand()` is likely to change the selection. It'd be helpful if the spec mentions this; e.g. such as:
> DOM operations other than listed here may change the selections even if CE=events

If you have specific existing operations that you do not want to change the selections, it'd be helpful to list them in the spec.
