*Summary*: We don't currently support documents.elementsFromPoint, while IE
and Chrome do (I'm not sure if Opera and Safari have gotten around to it
yet). It's making important things like IRCCloud angry. There's also an
elementsFromRect, but I think I may wait on that since it doesn't even have
a spec yet (https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27837).

*Bug*: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1164427

*Link to standard*:
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom-view/#dom-document-elementfrompoint

*Platform coverage*: All platforms.

*Estimated or target release*: Firefox 46, might see about uplifting
farther if it lands quickly (w-p-t's at least pass with current patch)

Opera does have document.elementsFromPoint and Safari does not (yet). I
couldn't find an open bug for WebKit, so I filed one:

<https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153137>

Edge and IE 10 ship a prefixed document.msElementsFromPoint.
