I'd prefer not to since I think unrestricted floats would be hard for Web
developers to handle.

Probably just set to zero, like I suggested for singular results.

Oh, I forgot one more edge case:
7) If either 'from' or the destination node has no CSS box, return 0,0.

I suppose we could bite the bullet, make the floats unrestricted, and make
edge cases 6 and 7 return NaNs (and overflowing cases return infinities).
Anyone have an opinion on that?
