Err, why is the DIV's own background important when it comes to drawing the DIV's margins? The color of ANY margin, colapsed or not, is that of the parent's background. Since for two margins to collapse they MUST have the same parent (eg, you cannot colapse with your parent's margins), then there is no problem, is there?
