Hi Maciej:
Thanks for your quick reply.
Then, I have other questions:
1. Why we would like to differentiate whether the node is a 'document' node

2. If we expose the control node, how to
For a use case that pinpoint a word from a page, the context information
needed besides word might be the language that the word is in.And yes, as
you said, if the hit node is needed, elementFromPoint should do.

nodes).
It hides the information about the node and should be a useful API.
Thanks,
One use case is to show a tooltip of the word's definition in your
accept-language when you mouse over the word in a page.
It needs to
1. convert the mouse position to character offset within a node (by
