I've been on vacation but getting back into work on a web scheme editor so this article hit the tech news aggregators at the right time:

I actually didn't know about CSS text node highlights but as the author mentioned it seems to have performance issues vs. a regular DOM tree. it wouldn't work for my use case, anyway.

by far the hardest part about making a custom web-based editor is the UI. the web platform does not make things easy for you. I have written and rewritten the UI code numerous times.
