caret color test

When editing a text in an editable element with black background color, it is hard to find where the caret is in WebKit.
Because the color of caret was decided through the CSS color value of the root of the editable element. 

As a result, If we doesn't set a specific color for the root of the editable element, WebKit just uses black color for displaying a caret. 
Therefore, even if an editable element has black background color and white text color, the color of the caret is still black. 

In case of other browsers, Firefox uses the text color of an editable element, and Opera uses white color for displaying a caret. 
The test file attached shows this problem.
