Rather than include a full duplication of DOM Ranges for old IE browsers, this API normalizes the most important capabilities of DOM Ranges and TextRanges (getting/setting anchors, and directionality). This can be included in a JavaScript library without much overhead, and any other essential DOM Range capability (deleteContents(), setStartBefore(), etc.), can be duplicated as needed by working with the DOM itself.

This is reworked from my other project, IERange (https://github.com/timcameronryan/IERange).
