Details

As described in bug 674871 comment 17, we need a new API similar to getBoundingClientRect/getClientRects that will return the boxes of one element relative to another. Our particular use case involves calculating the offsets of a rectangle (used by the Highlighter developer tool) that highlights the bounding client rectangle of an element inside a styled iframe, with border and padding larger than zero. As roc points out though, this new API will be useful for dealing with transforms.
