We definitely need to make sense to ::selection. Right now the behavior
makes our implementation complex and is also frustrating as a developer.

<div>foo<span>bar</span></div>

div::selection {
  background: red;
}

The text in the <span> doesn't get the color, worse even input::selection
breaks this and somehow magically the selection also applies down into the
ShadowRoot that contains the text which you can't model yourself if you
made a <rich-editor> web component.
