[RC6] c411-vt-mrgn-000 is incorrect: fractional pixel issue!

Hello,

While carefully crafting a reftest for

[nightly-unstable]
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/nightly-unstable/html4/c411-vt-mrgn-000.htm

[RC6]
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20110323/html4/c411-vt-mrgn-000.htm

I noticed a 1px shift downward of the topmost white stripe in Chrome
16.0.912.63 and Konqueror 4.7.4.

p.one has a margin-bottom of 2cm (used value is 75px: it's not 74px!).

p.four has a margin-top of -1cm (used value is -37px).

The weird thing is that, later, there is another rounding issue which
seemingly "corrects", neutralizes the effect of the offset created
before and this makes it much more difficult to notice.

So, I am putting aside the reftest

while waiting for this test to be corrected.

regards, Gérard
