This looks sane enough to me.

If you feel this needs a review from someone more experienced in this code, I suggest you get one, because I can't promise I understand all the nuances of this change, but it looks sane to me.

I think that the confusing part of the patch is the changes to caretMaxOffset, or maybe it's existence altogether is confusing.  It kind of represents two different concepts, and perhaps it should be two separate functions.  One pertains only to text nodes, and is the value that ignores unrendered text at the end of text nodes.  There's no such thing as unrendered content at the end of non-text nodes, so for those, caretMaxOffset gives us the last offset for the purposes of editing.  The number of children for containers, 1 for <hr> and <br>s, etc., i.e. maxDeepOffset.
