I agree with Ryosuke, because caret color is usually black, white, and gray.
However, there seems various ways of how to display a caret for each platform.
Therefore, we need to make decisions as follows before updating the patch attached;
1) Do we need to display a caret at platform level rather than in WebCore?
    Yes, because each platform has it own way of creating a caret.
2) How to display a caret for each platform
    - Windows => XOR with the painted screen like IE 
    - Mac => Black or White  (but, Pages always uses gray color)
    - Linux => Black or White (but, OpenOffice uses XOR with the painted screen)
3) How to change the caret color on the dark/bright background in Mac/Linux.
    - Use the lightness value of HSL color space?

Do you have any idea?
