I read and reread the relevant parts of
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html to try and answer this question,
and couldn't find from the text any reason why not. May elements with
display:inline contain children with display:block?

Or to put it another way, if in HTML <html> and <body> were display:inline,
what would break?

Best wishes,
Steven Pemberton
