Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but it looks like most of these
problems are related with ::selection being a new pseudo-element. How
about a new property instead?
selection: <color>{1,3} | auto;
First color would be background-color, second color would be text color,
third color could be text-shadow color.
Future versions could introduce more parameters.
It would also be kinda on par with the new `caret` property in css4-ui
which will also be explored IIRC.
