Although I strongly believe that both approaches here end up in the same results (even as-are), I will try to summarize the basic difference between grace's (attachment 57980) and mine (attachment 58324).

>From my understanding, the former makes the HitTest system "rect-aware" in the sense that it keeps the core logic of nodeAtPoint methods as point-based, but adjusts them to take a rect (a point + a padding area) into consideration.

On the other hand, the later makes the HitTest really rect-based in the sense that it changes all nodeAtPoint existent methods to be nodeAtArea ones, and of course their method so their method bodies where needed. 

The difference is silly, but exists. We have just to decide how to proceed from that point on. Whatever direction is decided, I am up to join efforts with Grace to fix it.

Please, comments needed...
