           Summary: Consider using element rect instead of selection rect
                    to compute the center of an element
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: BlinkMergeCandidate
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: rniwa at webkit.org

We might want to merge https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/a1fc9809d682deb494818a977cd480872f17f94e

Remove unused blink accessibility code.

The only functional change is to clickPoint, where we're now returning
the center of the element rect rather than the selection rect. There's
no difference 99% of the time. If that 1% is needed, we could rewrite
that logic in far less code.

Everything else was literally unused. Much is already implemented in
Chromium's browser process; the rest couldn't be used without refactoring
anyway.


Chris, any opinion on this?
