If position: absolute is changed to position: static in that
absolute-non-replaced-width-003.htm, then the testcase still passes. So,
it is definitely not the best testcase imaginable.

I agree that the mention of "the width becomes shrink-to-fit" in the
assert of those testcases is incorrect.

Those  absolute-non-replaced-width-008.htm and
absolute-non-replaced-width-009.htm are wrong, incorrect.

In
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20101001/html4/absolute-non-replaced-width-010.htm
the width is given by shrink-to-fit but the assert makes no mention of
this.

"(...)
set 'auto' values for 'margin-left' and 'margin-right' to 0, and (...)
   1. 'left' and 'width' are 'auto' and 'right' is not 'auto', then the
width is shrink-to-fit. Then solve for 'left'
"
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#abs-non-replaced-width
and this is precisely what is happening in
absolute-non-replaced-width-010.htm

Same thing with
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20101001/html4/absolute-non-replaced-width-013.htm
the width must be given by shrink-to-fit but the assert makes no mention
of this.


"

   3. 'width' and 'right' are 'auto' and 'left' is not 'auto', then the
width is shrink-to-fit . Then solve for 'right'
