------- Additional Comments from Dave Hyatt <hyatt at apple.com>
Ok, here are my comments.

(1) This feature as coded will cause a slowdown.  We will need a way to only do
work when we detect that we're drawing into a PDF context.

(2) You need to deal with partial clipping (unless the CG API does this for
you?).

(3) Patching only InlineFlowBox is insufficient and won't give you the right
rects.	This won't work for image links.  It won't work when the link is a
block.	It won't work if the content inside the link is a larger font size.

I would probably limit this feature to images and text and patch those methods
instead.
