I'm aware that that is your opinion.  It even sorta works for button, but for 
<fieldset> the extra-CSS means is exactly what you need; there's no way to get 
the common default rendering of <fieldset> in CSS.

So the point of the question is, given that it IS a block reflow context root 
(and that this is not changing), what should the margin collapsing behavior be?
