If https://github.com/w3c/selection-api/issues/53 is accepted, then we need to handle input nodes in that way. This patch should handle using them in this way.

You don't need mozilla::dom, the translation unit is using that namespace.

Nit: please change this to MOZ_ASSERT while you're here.

Hmm, how about a slightly better name such as mSelectionChangeBlockerCount, and AddSelectionChangeBlocker(), RemoveSelectionChangeBlocker() and IsBlockingSelectionChangeEvents()?

Please use the MFBT GuardObject.h macros for this.

Nit: this goes in the initializer list.

I'm trying to document this (by updated the selectionchange and selectstart event documentation), but I don't see the rationale to remove Document.onselectionchange property that this patch also does. Does that mean that this property has been removed (and will therefore never reach a release version of Gecko)?

That looks like a mistake to me... I don't have time to look over it right now, but onselectionchange should definitely be available on document I would think.

Leaving the ni? so that I'll get around to this next week.
I've filed bug 1231193 to fix this, thanks!
