Well, since the HTML spec describes rendering of legends in a way that's not expressible with CSS... it's already in this territory. Note that this matters for web compat; for example if legends are allowed to have display other than "block" then first-letter and first-line would not work on them with those other display values... or would they? There may well be sites that rely on that behavior (we certainly got bug reports about it in Gecko, which is why I raised the bug). As things stand, implementing a web-compatible <legend> by reference to the HTML5 spec and the CSS2.1 spec is impossible as far as I can see. I can guarantee that sites are styling <legend> with display:inline and expecting the "default" legend behavior... Note, btw, that a legend with display:block uses shrink-wrap sizing; I don't believe the current spec specifies that either. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
