This has already bitten me. I'm working hard on a solution that inverts the 
colors if the contrast is too small. I think it's better to occasionally 
divert from the global colors than having unrecognizeable selections.

Btw, to give the user more control, I'd also like to port the ::selection 
pseudo element from safari. This allows for custom selection colors in style 
sheets.

We still don't know, but this isn't necessary to match NN, IE, Opera. I solved 
it by simply adding a half-leading to the top and bottom of the selection 
rectangle.
