[css3-background] background-clip-009.html has 1 issue

Julien,

http://test.csswg.org/source/contributors/google/submitted/background-clip-009.html

There is still an issue with that test.

You added a margin-bottom and wrote
"
Added a margin-bottom to this test as it doesn't change the output but
make it fail if the browser clips at the margin box.
"
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-css-testsuite/2013Feb/0011.html

but the thing is the background (background-color and/or
background-image) of an element never paints its own margin area (with
only the root element as the sole exception to this). Your comment
suggests that the margin area would be painted with black color (the
background-color of the element) if the clipping would not be executed
or would be wrongly executed. But the margin area should not be painted
by the background-color to begin with.

So, I believe we should remove

line 23:     margin-bottom: 50px;
    /*
    Added a margin-bottom to this test as it doesn't change
    the output but make it fail if the browser clips at the
    margin box. Julien
line 27: */


I have asked for an editorial insertion into CSS 3 background spec:

[css3-background] "Margins are always transparent" missing
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2013Apr/0213.html

to clarify this.
