Ian, can you provide a revised diff that addresses these comments?

(In reply to comment #30)
> - I accept the changes for caretBlinkPeriod.

> The changes to drawFocusRing are still inaccurate for these reasons:

> - DrawFocusRing must be able to draw a focus ring around an element with focus
> or descendant of an element with focus. Often, in rich internet applications an
> element with focus will managed visual rendering of focus for its children.
> Examples of this are grids, radio groups, listboxes, and tree widgets.

> A note to the editor:
> In the canvas subtree authors can use aria-activedescendant on one of these
> element to convey the focus location of a descendant to an assistive
> technology.

> example: 
> <table role="grid" aria-activedescendant="foo">
> ...
> <tr role="row">
> <td role="gridcell" id="foo"> ... </tr>
> ...
> </table>

> - caretSelectionPos still has some problems. I don't have an issue with the
> name change or the use of a path to produce the rectangle
> -- The accessibility API mapping must step must be provided. 
> -- The text does not address when the user agent window is moved or resized
