For this patch yes. However, looking at the webcore code, making it
compatable to it basicly means merge the apple code, no? Webcore has
this WebCore-146.1/khtml/editing directory with their Midas
implementation. It uses the caret members from DOM::NodeImpl and
DOM::Position/DOM::Selection and those from khtml::RenderObject. So what
remains are the ecma bindings..
What might be an idea, that I start with this merge and you step in when
you have the time. What do you think? (I expect to need some help with
rendering stuff).
Btw, those newly apple source files have a license basicly 'Do what you
want but you must add this license'. Is that okay for khtml?
