If Ingo is talking about IE<=7, this browser has its own bizarre and buggy proprietary positioning model that I don't think CSS21 would want to encourage.[1] Specifically for the case Ingo raises, IE<=7 determines the static position of the AP box as if it were inline-level even if it is actually display:block.[2] This certainly seems in violation of the specification, seeing as the computed value of 'display' is explicitly stated for absolutely positioned elements,[3] and is never 'inline'.
