     - Need to be able to ensure text content wrapping in non-visible
shadow DOM
     - Need to be able to acquire grammar and spell checking errors in

        - Getting the selection object:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.getSelection
        - sel = window.getSelection() //sel is a Selection object
        - rangex = sel(0);
        - rangex.collapsed(); //If it is collapsed it is a  caret
        - reangex.collapse();
     - Need to develop examples
