When the element is not empty, RenderText::localCaretRect is used to compute the caret location.

When the element is empty, RenderObject::localCaretRect is used, which returns an empty rect.  The renderer used in this case is a RenderInline, which doesn't override 'localCaretRect' from RenderObject.

It looks like we need to add an implementation of RenderInline::localCaretRect.  I'm guessing it will be very similar to RenderText::localCaretRect.  I'll start experimenting with this.
