I've considered doing that too.  But it doesn't work with Range
objects you don't have a reference to, so it's not the same as what
the browser can do.  (Although I'm not sure if browsers actually do
anything special for ranges not in the selection, for execCommand().
I haven't tested, but I suspect not.)
