We found this bug while fixing another so I would prefer to specify it if possible. As I noted I think IE's implementation makes the most sense in this case as we treat all of the elements and their offsets consistently which is good for authors. Would you be the one to work with in getting something like spec'd? I can write up what we currently do (I summarized it briefly) if there is agreement that IE's implementation is the preferred one.
