Consistent and logical. Yay.

I wouldn't give a rat's patootie about that one.

I hope vertical margins get fixed soon, and the margins on floats. I
killed a couple of hours doing some GIF examples of how I interpret the
spec for margins on floats at
http://www.socnet.com/users/hpaa/margins.html
(note that if the floated element were the first letter of the
paragraph, various drop cap effects would be possible by tweaking the
margins). Can you confirm this is what you intend to do?
