Hello,

http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100815/html4/outline-applies-to-008.htm

http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100815/html4/outline-style-applies-to-008.htm

width and height do not apply to 'display: inline' elements. While
setting those width and height properties in that manner is not (and
should not be) sufficient ground/reason to reject a testcase (testing
something entirely different: here, outline), I think it should be
formally discouraged as a coding practice.

"This [width] property does not apply to non-replaced inline-level
elements."

elements."
