Robert,

You may want to know that dynamic-top-change-005 has been split in 2
(just in case you're not aware of this):

http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/latest/html4/dynamic-top-change-005a.htm

and

For relatively positioned boxes, the offset is with respect to the top
edges of the box itself (i.e., the box is given a position in the normal
flow, then offset from that position according to these properties).
"
Section 9.3.2 Box offsets: 'top', 'right', 'bottom', 'left'

Because the offset (for relative positioning) is not relative to the
nearest containing block but to the box itself. Only when percentage
unit is used for relative positioning, then the offset is a percentage
of the containing block's width (for 'left' or 'right') or height (for
'top' and 'bottom').

Anyway, I believe the containing block for div#red is not
div#grandparent and but span#parent ... that is when I read section
9.2.1 and 10.1.

[Addendum: it would be best if you could reuse the same identifiers that
are used in dynamic-top-005 so that we would relate to all testcases the
same way: id="grandparent" is more meaningful in terms of testcase
building logic than id="top" in my opinion]

{
This is actually explicitly specified in CSS2.1:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#anonymous-block-level
"When such an inline box is affected by relative positioning, any
resulting translation also affects the block-level box contained in the
inline box."
}

Webkit-based browsers currently fail this test:
Block boxes within inline boxes are [also] affected by positioning
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/latest/html4/inline-box-002.htm
