Indeed, AFAIK, the definition of this spec is not the place to define rendering details though I must admit that if a spec for this were defined somewhere, maybe we would have a closer model of one page that can be rendered more or less the same in all browsers. But that's a horse with another color. Besides, a question arises, will browser's developers follow rendering details specs, if any?
