It seems that if our aim is to be compatible with the IE event, we should make 
our implementation as close to the IE one as possible. I’m not sure that firing 
the same event, but with a different target, will be good for compatibility. Is 
there some chance this could lead to a webpage that works in IE but fails in 
our engine, that would have worked fine if we used a different event name?

I think that firing the same select event for editable areas in the document as 
for input and textarea elements might be a mistake, because the functions for 
querying and working with the selection are not uniform for those elements. 
Inside the engine we treat these much the same, but in the DOM API they are 
quite different.
