Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] CSS find-in-page highlight pseudos (Issue #1120)

Thanks for the positive feedback on the use cases.

Regarding Safari not implementing, two things come to mind:
* The reason Safari will not implement is that they have a vendor-specific solution to the contrast problem implemented at the browser UI level. In particular, Safari find-in-page puts an overlay over the page to ensure contrast with the search UI. This overlay both addresses the use cases and prevents page-level control.
* The missing feature will be detectable in Safari via @supports.

I think the Safari UI would be an obvious flag to developers that custom search markers do not work, and that UI also prevents users from suffering significantly if a page fails to note the lack of compatibility.
