[Laszlo-dev] What was the reason for setting document.onselectstart in LzInputTextSprite?

  This dates back to LPP-4715.

  There's some code in the kernel DHTML LzInputTextSprite which globally 
disables the onselectstart

// prevent text selection in IE
// can't use lz.embed.attachEventHandler because we need to cancel 
events
    document.onselectstart = LzTextSprite.prototype.__cancelhandler;
    document.ondrag =  LzTextSprite.prototype.__cancelhandler;

What was the need for that? Why wasn't it sufficient to rely on the 
LzTextSprite.setSelectable behavior
(which sets         this.__LZdiv.onselectstart = 
LzTextSprite.prototype.__cancelhandler )? Or was this
to fix some other issue besides toggling (input) text selectability?
