[webkit-dev] [New DOM property] selectionDirection on HTMLInputElement and HTMLTextAreaElement

[Darin Fisher]

I should have also asked:  do you have the support of other browser vendors
for this feature?  Or, is it possible that when they set out to solve this
problem that they might end up doing it differently?  Are you sure we
shouldn't vendor prefix this method if we are going to be the only
implementer?
