Description
Moving this issue over from: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/issues/78.
Textarea and input elements can't be highlighted with this proposal. We need a mechanism to express the position of a range inside these elements so that spellchecking/grammar extensions can add squiggles to these elements too.
