           Summary: new method, like document.elementFromPoint(), but in
                    the document's coordinate space
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: CSS

Both document.elementFromPoint() and document.caretPositionFromPoint()
take viewpoint coordinates, and return null if the coordinates given
identify a point outside of the visible viewport. This prevents using
these methods for hit testing elements elsewhere in the document.

We've had a few feature requests for equivalent methods which operate
within the document's coordinate space, and personally I think it's a
good idea. Implementing such methods in WebKit would be pretty
straightforward.

I'll refrain from suggesting names; feel free to bikeshed! :)
