Recorded as CSS2.1 Issue 45, btw.
   http://csswg.inkedblade.net/spec/css2.1#issue-45
I'll close it as no change unless WG members feel a need to clarify further.
Alternatively we could add "specified" to the sentence so it reads
   "if its specified 'position' property"
to clarify that this hypothetical calculation may require recomputing the
'display' property.
