It seems the current HTML specification doesn't define the initial value of selectionDirection.

The initial state of INPUT and TEXTAREA is "a text entry cursor at the beginning of the control." selectionStart and selectionEnd in a case of text entry cursor are defined, but selectionDirection is not defined in such case.

Actual initial value in major UAs is "none" if the platform supports it, or "forward". I remember some of WPT tests already imply it.
