No. I was considering using it for its Selection support, but I 
discovered this support is limited for what I need.

Actually Mozilla follows pretty close the W3C Range specification 
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/range . Other important browsers are

Internet Explorer, of course, doesn't care about specifications.
