Converting Selection to a Range

In Safari 1.3+, how do you convert a selection retrieved from window.getSelection() to a Range as specified in DOM 2 Ranges? In Mozilla you use getRangeAt() and in IE you use selection.createRange (). It seems that neither is supported with Safari. I was unable to find the W3C DOM way of doing it either. If I use createRange on the document I get an initialized textRange but not one that represents the selection. Safari documentation on this is sparse. Am I missing something obvious?

I realize this is similar to a post by Andrew Goodale on April 27th, but there were no replies. I was hoping someone at Apple could give us an example, tell us where to look, or tell us if this is currently supported? The contenteditible stuff is great but without this info, I am not going to be able to complete the Safari support.
