[whatwg] Text selection in IFrames

[Devi Web Development]

If I have a text selection in an iframe and select text or click on any
element in the parent document the browsers behave differently

Not an interoperability issue? One of the main benefits of HTML has been
it's device-independence. Ideally, a page should look and act the same in
every browser on every platform. Frankly, I don't see an application for
using user-selected text, but if a script requests the selected text, it
should be clear what the script is getting.
