So is it okay with everyone if I try out the `<textarea>` swapping hack? I think that would provide a seamless experience for screen readers to announce the new text without having it say "selection removed," while also maintaining the current visual appearance of not having any selected text highlighted. I don't want to start on it if it won't be approved, or if everyone would prefer to keep looking for other alternatives. --- Morgan, I'm NI'ing you on this too because I know you have good working knowledge of layout code and accessibility code, and I'd value your perspective about the `<textarea>` swapping solution described in the comments above.
