So let me get this straight. Håkon's text says that column rules are painted *above* the border and *below* descendants. Like so: descendants <insert column rules here> borders backgrounds But you're saying that there are cases where descendants of an element can be painted below it. Like so: borders backgrounds descendants So tell me, where in that stack, exactly, is both *above* the border and *below* the descendants? Because such a place must always exist for Håkon's text to always be correct. ~fantasai
