> If the text color is hard to see on the background color, then that's a webpage design problem that won't be fixed by having a more visible caret.  If we decide not to do a black caret in some cases, it seems simplest to just match the text color.

No, that's not what I meant.  What I'm afraid is that matching the caret color to text color would hinder user's ability to easily spot the caret.  For example:
<span style="font-weight: bold; color: #FF9966;">hello</span>
is perfectly visible text on white background but caret next to l is really hard to see on Firefox because Firefox sets its color to #FF9966. In my opinion, recognition is much easier on WebKit because the caret color is black.
