IE9 implements all of CSS 3 Selectors and is said to pass 100% of the Selectors Test Suite [1]. Mucho mucho congrats to the IE9 Team. But it also implements ::selection, a pseudo-element originally in the first drafts of Selectors but that was later removed [2] because its difficult specification was putting the whole thing at risk. That means that at this time, ::selection is NOT standard, that the Microsoft spec behind ::selection is definitely an interesting contribution to the future standardization debate but it's also potentially NOT the final specification for that feature. In other terms, that ::selection should really be a ::-ms-selection until the CSS Working Group reaches consensus on that. On a side note, and unless I missed a message, the spec for that implementation by Microsoft of ::selection was not submitted to the CSS Working Group for discussion.
