ok - in that case I was way too naive with my thinking. I apologize. I just wanted to add that this is a very important method for many interactive applications. Think about maps/GIS, interactive graphics editors, applications where you need to select elements to manipulate them, etc BTW: Jeff (codedread) let me know that he is working on a native implementation (Webkit), not a Javascript shim as I was thinking. So, hopefully, along with the implementation(s) ambiguous or missing parts in the spec could be addded/clarified.
