Thanks for the comments, Hakon. I've incorporated your suggestions except... > I'd say: "The background of the list-item marker should be that > of the UL element, not the LI element." What if the list-item marker hangs to the left of the UL element's background or straddles the edge? How about: "The background of the list-item marker should be transparent such that the background of the underlying element shows through." As revised: <LI>The left edge of this text block should be 40 pixels to the right of the preceding paragraph's left edge because the paragraph has a left margin of 0 and this element has a left margin of 40px. <LI>The background color should extend all the way to the right margin because this is a block-level element. <LI>The background color should extend only to the edges of the text at the left, top, and bottom, because there is no padding. <LI>The background of the list-item marker should be transparent such that the background of the underlying element shows through. <LI>The list-item marker's horizontal position is undefined. Your browser can put it wherever it wants to. <LI>There should be a 6 pixel space between the element blocks because there is a 6 pixel bottom margin on LI. David Perrell
