Please don’t misrepresent what I said. I provided two examples in this issue that demonstrate the CSS Align properties _don’t work_ in the most recent browsers _under the conditions described in this issue_.

I agree. The conversation should focus on refining the definition so that both CSS2 and CSS3 users can use absolute positioning as described in their respective specifications. This discussion is not about what is available in 'Nightly.'

I have demonstrated very clearly a deficiency in the spec regarding absolute positioning. If CSS Align properties provide a resolution, so be it. However, the larger issue here is that we now have two completely different models for absolute positioning running concurrently. That, my friend, is bound to create significant confusion for developers. **Mark my words**.
