The reason behind the range methods setStartBefore, setStartAfter, setEndBefore, setEndAfter failing on detached node is, the root container of the node is not an Attribute, Document, or DocumentFragment node.

I am not sure why this restriction is imposed on these methods while the same restriction is not applicable to setStart and setEnd methods.

I would like someone to review on the above range methods' specification before reviewing my patch, since my patch is violating the requirement specified in the documentation. Does the specification require a change here?
