Throughout the spec we distinguish between block and inline display.

For instance: "Unless otherwise specified, controls have an inline layout  
by default (e.g. for a host language that supports CSS, the default  
styling should be display:inline)."

However, if I ever explicitly set a display property in the CSS to inline,  
it almost always to display: inline-block, principally because you can set  
height and width.

Should be specify this?
