Summary Implement Mozilla's getBoxObjectFor

The page in the URL uses document.getBoxObjectFor (or falls back on the IE extension getBoundingClientRect which isn't implemented in WebKit either) for submenu positioning. I couldn't find any official information on getBoxObjectFor.

Firefox has exposed getBoxObjectFor by accident: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340571

Given that this already leaked, I'm not 100% sure that it's a good idea to remove it :-(

We should implement getBoundingClientRect() (on HTMLElement), IMHO. IMHO getBoxObjectFor() should not be implemented.

It absolutely should not be implemented.

getBoundingClientRect would be reasonable I suppose.
