There's been some movement on the caret tracking proposal: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11239 There still seems to be some confusion over the TextMetrics.baseline attribute, which will apparently need to be "rectified by a future, separately raised proposal that provides sufficient detail". If there are any of you on the list that are up for reviewing the prior proposal, and providing feedback, I'd appreciate it. I posted clarification of the section on the bug report. metrics . baseline "Returns the vertical offset of the anchor point for the text that was passed to the measureText() method" http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2011Feb/att-0162/HTML_Canvas_2DContext20110217.html The term -anchor point- is defined in the preceding section on textBaseline keywords. "The textBaseline attribute's allowed keywords correspond to alignment points in the font... Let the anchor point be a point on the inline box, determined by the textAlign and textBaseline values" Here's the link to the working group decision on caret tracking, including TextMetrics: --- Comment #12 from Maciej Stachowiak<mjs@apple.com> 2011-04-13 21:01:16 UTC --- Working Group Decision: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Apr/0271.html
