Maybe I'm not understanding:  I just added a div as the top editable  
element, and it still breaks:

<html>
   <head></head>
<body>

<style>
   div{
   -moz-user-modify: read-write;
   -moz-user-input: enabled;
   -moz-user-select:text;
   background:pink;
   }

    #prior{
   -moz-user-modify: read-write;
   -moz-user-input: enabled;
   -moz-user-select:text;
   background:pink;
   }

</style>
<div>hello</div>
<hr>
<span id="prior">
   this is editable but I get an error when I hit carriage return
</span>
<pre>
[JavaScript Application]
   Selection.splitXHTMLLine: TypeError: nodeToTest has no properties
</pre>
</body>
</html>

that actually makes sense.  Although inserting <br> breaks would be  
the "obvious" solution
