Hello all, " When an element's own margins collapse, and that element has had clearance applied to it, its top margin collapses with the adjoining margins of subsequent siblings but that resulting margin does not collapse with the bottom margin of the parent block. " http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#collapsing-margins Proposed modification: s/subsequent/following/ Reasons why: 1- at least 3 people (Bruno Fassino, Arron Eicholz and me) were confused or hesitant or not sure about the meaning of subsequent. This may be/could have been related more to the intrinsec difficulty of that part of the spec than to the choice of adjective. 2- "following sibling" is defined in section 3.1 http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html#defs as "Element B is a following sibling if it comes after A in the document tree." while subsequent sibling is not defined in section 3.1 regards, Gérard Talbot -- CSS 2.1 Test suite beta 2 (July 27th 2010) http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/toc.html Contributions to CSS 2.1 test suite http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/ Web authors' contributions to CSS 2.1 test suite http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/web-authors-contributions-css21-testsuite.html
