yroc has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [CSS2] Top content edge in height calculation of block-level non-replaced elements not specified == In section [10.6.3 Block-level non-replaced elements in normal flow when 'overflow' computes to 'visible'](https://drafts.csswg.org/css2/visudet.html#normal-block), it seems that when calculating height, the bottom edge of the content area is well-defined (e.g., the bottom edge of the last line box, the bottom edge of the bottom (possibly collapsed) margin of its last in-flow child, etc.), but the top content edge is not. It's simply stated that the element's height is the distance from the “top content edge”: > The element's height is the distance from its top content edge to the first applicable of the following: Yes, but what determines the position of the top content edge? Doesn't this need to be specified to determine the height (or am I missing something)? For example, if the box establishes an inline formatting context with one or more lines, then shouldn't its height be specified as _the top edge of the first line box_ to the bottom edge of the last line box rather than _its top content edge_ (where is that?) to the bottom edge of the last line box.
