Description Jaap Lous 2010-03-02 01:08:14 PST 
IE's "TextRange" object contains height, width, top, left and offset properties. 
These are very useful when building overlays for custom editors.

see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms535872(VS.85).aspx

Have these ever been considered for Webkit?

We support a very similar API called ClientRect from the http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom-view/ specification.  One can get a ClientRect from a range by calling range.getClientRects() or range.getBoundingClientRect(). Does this meet your requirements?
