Suppose following DOM tree:
div0
- div1
- div2
- - div3
- div4
- - div5
In addition, range is of start at (div2,0) and end at (div4, 0).

What will happen when we delete a node div2?

http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#node-is-removed
When we are going to delete a node,
current spec says cases that a range boundary point is a descendant of the
node or a parent of the node.
However it is undefined when a boundary point is the node.

I guess the case 2 and 3 should be:
2. For each range whose start node is a "inclusive" descendant of node, set
its start to (parent, index).
3. For each range whose end node is a "inclusive" descendant of node, set
its end to (parent, index).
