If you have a page with a span that, well, spans multiple lines due to wrapping, I would expect that you would get multiple rects: ............ AAAA AAAAAAAAAA AAA .............. A would likely have 3 client rects, no? In the presence of floated images I could imagine that it gets even more complex: ............ AAAA AAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAFFF AAAAAAAFFF AAAAAAAFFF AAAAAAAAAA AAA .............. Where F is a floated-right image -- could get 7 (?) rects, maybe? I'm not sure how the implementation would split those out, tbh.
