checking)?

Using properties that induce stacking contexts (such as opacity, or
relpos with integer z-index) on an element which has a non-'none' value
of 'flow-from' (ie, on a region) ought to be enough to make the region
establish a stacking context.

[vh] This is my understanding too.

 Is there a reason to break that
established behaviour?

[vh] In the discussion so far, I think people argue that *if* the region *does not* establish a stacking context through 'normal' means, then it should not establish a stacking context, whereas the spec. currently says it does. For regions that establish a stacking context through regular means, I think the only issue I have heard so far is the one raised by Rob and for which he offered a resolution:
