Because they're two different things.  One is about whether a caret appears
before or after a line break, and the other is about to which BiDi-level
caret belongs.  Just because Gecko decides to reuse the same flag doesn't
mean we need to expose that to the Web.

Having a flag that changes the meaning depending on where the CaretPosition
is seems like an unnecessary complexity.
