Proposed text:

Add

  | If 'margin-top' or 'margin-bottom' is specified as 'auto' its used value is
  | determined by the rules below.

to rule #1 in 10.6.5. and add

  | If 'margin-left' or 'margin-right' is specified as 'auto' its used value is
  | determined by the rules below.

to rule #1 in 10.3.8.
