Does this work well for SVG? In https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/39814 I ran into an issue that when SVG is inside a shadow tree and you attempt to hit test it, you don't get the host element back. I suspect this API has the same flaw and could thus be used to detect shadow trees. Please make sure this is tested before enabling.

See bug 287472 for the issue with SVG, I very much expect it would impact this API as well and I don't think we should enable it with that bug in place.
