Ah! I really should read all those WDs, though I must
confess that I wouldn't expect to see this in a UI
section. 

I did actually consider this idea, independently of
the UI WD when writing my message, but rejected on the
basis that it was altering the well-established
behaviour of display: inline (especially as it is the
initial value(, which in CSS 1 and 2 is equivalent to
the inline-block property.
