Re: [cssom] Element size/positioning information

There's some discussion about this here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626359

There I proposed defining a Quad object containing four float points, and a
QuadList object, then defining a method element.getQuads(relativeTo)
returning a QuadList, where relativeTo is an element. The method returns a
list of Quads in CSS pixels relative to the top-left of relativeTo's first
CSS box's border-box ... but arguably it should be content-box.

It would probably be worth specializing that to getBorderQuads,
getPaddingQuads and getContentQuads.

For mouse event coordinates, you probably want another method
element.transformPoint(relativeTo, x, y) returning a simple x,y Point
object, transforming from a point relative to the element's first CSS box's
content-box to a point relative to relativeTo's first CSS box's content-box.
