1. Group review on proposed change proposals encompassing:
- Canvas 2D API: focusring, caret positioning, blink rate, text
extent.These are needed regardless of text fields. Chuck indicated that he
would like to see it reviewed by WhatWG members as well before submitting
it for formal proposal. Rich note: Ian is not in favor of an API to set the
caret position that is not linked to drawing yet we have no alternative.
- Canvas: Initialization of resources (such as IFrame) in canvas

http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/w3c_range.html
- 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();
