<h2 id="abstract" class="no-num no-toc">Abstract</h2>
<p>The APIs introduced by this specification provide authors with a way to
inspect and manipulate the visual view of a document. This includes
getting the position of element layout boxes, obtaining the width
of the viewport through script, and also scrolling an element.</p>

<p>Many of the features defined in this specification have been supported
by browsers for a long period of time. The goal of this specification is
to define these features in such a way that they can be implemented by all
browsers in an interoperable manner. The specification also defines a
couple of new features that will hopefully be useful to authors. (If they
are not you can bug us!)</p>
