[w3c/editing] Caret movement based on visual screen position rather than DOM order? (Issue #533)

michael created an issue (w3c/editing#533)

This is just a rough idea I wanted to bring to discussion.

Assuming this DOM structure:

```html
<div contenteditable="true" style="position: relative; width: 500px; height: 500px;">
  <div style="position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0;">text in top right corner</div>
  <div style="position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0;">text in top left corner</div>
</div>
```

And the cursor being after the last character of "text in top left corner". Now assume the user presses `ArrowRight`.

Current behavior: The cursor doesn't move anywhere as it's in the last available text position, according to DOM order.

New behavior: The cursor moves right before the "text in top right corner"

Concerns:
- RTL editing conflicts with this? Why?
- [Please add more concerns]
