The real question is: what's the use-case you're trying to solve? If it's some
sort of optimization, false positives should be okay.
The find bar wants to avoid finding "hidden" text, AIUI (see bug 257061). Some
false positives would certainly be OK. The findbar C++ code already does something
not-quite-perfect and we've lived with that for a while, so from my perspective it would
be fine to make a JS-exposed helper that does the equivalent and just use that.
Probably the conceptually simplest solution is to get the bounding
client rect of the found range.
