As I understand it, webkitConvertPointFromNodeToPage is a requirement for implementing WebKitPoint (bug 850805) as the two are frequently used together. As such, if we are to fix bug 850805 we should do this as well.

So is this just a conversion function from relative coordinates (e.g. within an element/node) to page coordinates? If so, I think much of the implementation that I did for caretPositionFromPoint might be able to be leveraged here.

There is now a stub docs page for this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window.convertPointFromNodeToPage
