The current signature of localCaretRect doesn't cover all the types of Positions that can be tied to a container. Namely, receiving only an offset doesn't allow differentiation between the position before a container and the first one inside. Likewise for the last position inside/after. See comment here: http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/rendering/RenderBox.cpp#L3016

I propose adding a boolean value such as "caretIsInsideContainer" which is used to determine whether to include border/padding.
