> +        CSS property: -webkit-caret-style, which can have three values: element, -webkit-editable-root, and a color value.

I don't think we should introduce a new prefixed value like -webkit-editable-root without suggesting it on www-style first.
It appears to me that what -webkit-editable-root does is really "auto".

If we were only concerned about Mail & Notes matching TextEdit's native behavior,
then we should simply expose a preference instead of exposing a generic CSS property to the Web.

This feature needs to be announced on webkit-dev first.
