<html:meta name="assert" content="pathLength restates the length of the referenced element in the author's own units, and startOffset is then measured in those units. When `path` wins, the referenced element is not used for anything, so its pathLength cannot scale startOffset: 60 stays 60 user units along the inline path. An implementation that reads pathLength from the href target regardless places the text far off the end of the path, or nowhere."/>
