Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] CSS.highlights.highlightsFromPoint API (Issue #1043)

ffiori left a comment (w3ctag/design-reviews#1043)

Hi @xiaochengh, thanks for following up on this topic by filing an issue. One of the reasons why we found this API to be worth pursuing is because it maintains the current patterns for developers (like other *FromPoint APIs, i.e. `elementFromPoint`, `caretPositionFromPoint`) so it's easier and intuitive for them to adopt it.

It's also up to the developers to call the API with a clean layout. We can give them some guidance by adding a note in the spec and in MDN mentioning this. We can also give an example like the following:

```
document.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
    requestAnimationFrame(() => {
        requestAnimationFrame(() => {
            const highlights = CSS.highlights.highlightsFromPoint(event.clientX, event.clientY);
            // Do something with the highlights
            console.log(highlights);
        });
    });
});
```
