For what it's worth as a user of the range and selection APIs, updating a live range is convenient and preferable, but since this has never worked in all browsers, I never do it and have never recommended it to anyone else. Therefore if Gecko changes, nothing really changes for me, so I don't care. Knock yourself out, Mozilla.
