Things yet to be done (probably in follow up work):

- Adds more test coverage for:
* transformed content case;
* <iframe> hit test case;
* etc.

- refine our DOM API for this. It is currently Document::nodesFromRect(int x, int y, int horizontalPadding, int verticalPaddin), taking vertical and horizontal padding values.

fwiw, firefox' is similarly padding-based, but takes padding for each of the four directions, and looks like:

nsIDOMNodeList nodesFromRect(in float aX, in float aY, in float aTopSize,  in float aRightSize, in float aBottomSize, in float aLeftSize, ...);

On IRC, there was a brief discussion between Hyatt and I about what would be the ideal API. Maybe rect coordinates (i.e. x, y, width and height).

Again I think these could come in follow up bugs, as the feature gets more mature.
