Summary
Remove Range.compareNode() and Range.expand().
Motivation
These API's have already been deprecated:
https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!msg/blink-dev/4VemRjyCth4/av8YNGs-4ykJ
These are non-standard extensions to the Range interface introduced in 2006 and 2009 respectively:
https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/48271Compatibility Risk
Exceptions will be thrown, unlimited breakage possible in theory.
Alternative implementation suggestion for web developers
Range.compareNode() => Range.compareBoundaryPoints() is the advice given in the MDN page.
Range.expand() => Selection.modify()
