Some tests (e.g. checking that the computed value rules are applied correctly) are easy to right, but a lot relies on user interaction, and I think I'm going to have to do manual tests. Am I wrong? is there a way to programmatically test what happens if the user tries to select (part of) a particular element?

Is there any defined interaction between the user-select and the
Selection API? I don't think there is.

With that out of the window, I think we're stuck with manual tests
until someone gets around to writing some cross-browser
makes-everyone-happy way to automate tests with WebDriver.
