Hi, Pete. The reason is to save an extra call. From my understanding
AT wants to know the caret offset within deepest accessible having a
caret. This doesn't add complexity to server implementation (as you
said all it's needed is to query text interface and call caretOffset).
We could introduce magic value for caret offset argument to specify
that the server shouldn't calculate it.

Thank you.
Alex.
