That would work for me, however, it'd be backwards-incompatible -- not in a critical way, but probably enough to break a few pieces of code. Also, I assume there is a reason that textarea/textinput content is not 'officially' part of the DOM, and that separate selection-management functionality has been implemented for it. This might be a *much* bigger can of worms than the simple change I proposed. I, personally, am more interested in getting *some* solution agreed on and specified, than in doing this in the most elegant way possible.
