Personally i find the whole concept of nested collapse (and even more so, collapse-through) unintuitive and probably somewhat outdated, if it ever was a good idea (as opposed to sibling-collapse). Some others have also questioned the feature on this list if you search the archives. The recs seem rather clear here though. CSS2 and CSS 2.1 use the same section, CSS3 uses somewhat different words but is possibly even clearer. Since they dont special-case the value zero in terms of what margins are adjacent, what is unclear? /Staffan
