Browsers do not fire select event with UIEvent #284

None of Gecko, Blink nor WebKit uses UIEvent for select events at HTML input/textarea elements, even when it's from user input devices, when the spec says:

UIEvent if generated from a user interface, Event otherwise.

Should the spec be changed, or is there a good reason to force UIEvent?

As far as I can tell, Chrome, Safari and Firefox only fire select event for input and textarea elements, which is required in HTML:

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#set-the-selection-range https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-input-element-as-a-text-entry-widget https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-textarea-element-2

Thus I think the select event can be removed completely from the UI Events spec.
