This should also affect height: auto;, I don’t think it solely applies to margins. Some of the possibilities: think about vertical top-to-bottom right-to-left Japanese text (the UA would have to start with scrolling all the way to the right instead of the left :)). Or an example that probably applies better to us roman writers: columns which have the height of the screen and expand horizontally, which makes them much more natural to read. ~Grauw -- Ushiko-san!
