The first attachment uses outerHTML, a Microsoft extension, WONTFIXED in bug 92264.

The second attachment uses what appears to be another Microsoft extension,
createTextRange().

Yes, see comment 3. Mozilla uses the w3c DOM as much as possible and not the IE
DOM. 
There are scripts out there which makes it possible to use outerHTML, by the way
(webfx.eae.net). It is not likely that Mozilla will ever do this natively though.
For the making of selections, Mozilla has implemented the w3c range objects, see:

This is a WONTFIX.
