Boris/ David,
Appreciate your replies. I was tricked into believing that first-line does not apply to the child block, after playing with this test case.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd">

<head>
<style>
div:first-line { text-transform: uppercase; }
</style>
</head>
<body style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:12pt">
<div><p>This should be in upper case.</p></div>
<div>
This is surely in upper case.
</div>
</body>
</html>

I now clearly see that the spec intends to have the marker positioned with the first line of the child block.
I would imagine the marker affects the line height of that first line as well.
Thanks,
Sushanth.
