As a first step, I just added visualizing the anchor point of the first character of a text object as a small square mark, shown when it is selected. It's just a mark so far, later I'll add snapping, aligning and scaling relative to it.
Having read your page, I must say I disagree about bbox snapping. I often need it, and at other times I need node snapping. That's why in Inkscape you can choose which of them (or both) to use. If Illustrator does not have bbox snapping, it's not our problem, it's an Illustrator problem :)
Richard: could you please review the small change I did to characterAnchorPoint for it to not crash on empty text, as well as try to figure out why it does not work for text-on-path.
