[w3c/selection-api] Unclear what "rendered text" in selection stringifier is referring to (Issue #350)

simonwuelker created an issue (w3c/selection-api#350)

The [selection stringifier](https://w3c.github.io/selection-api/#dom-selection-stringifier
) is specified as

> The stringification must return the string, which is the concatenation of the rendered text if there is a [range](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-range) associated with [this](https://webidl.spec.whatwg.org/#this).

It is not clear to me what "rendered text" means in this context.

Conceptually, it seems equivalent to the result of running the [`rendered text collection steps`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/#rendered-text-collection-steps), but according to the testcase in https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/37207#discussion_r2119382437, implementations seem to ignore the `text-transform` in this case.
