For example: what does it mean for a length to not be interpreted at all? What is an "element attribute"? What does it mean to "compete for space along an axis"?

The HTML4 spec is one of the worst specs _ever_ to have been published by the W3C when it comes to conformance criteria. It is _extremely_ badly defined and is certainly not a spec to look up to when it comes to looking at how to define a CSS unit. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
