Consider the following example document-tree:
* HTML (margin,border,padding:0; width:auto)
* HEAD (ignored)
* BODY (margin,border,padding:0; width:auto)
* P (margin,border,padding:0; text-align:center; width:500)
* anonymous inlinebox
* "The lazy fox jumped over the dog, or whatever.."
html.width will be viewport.width (9.1.2)
-> body.width will be viewport.width (10.3.3)
-> p.width will be viewport.width (10.3.3) (conflict!)
What should my program do to resolve the conflict?
1) set p.margin-right to 'auto' (10.3.3)
so scrolling will never take place, even if content exceeds viewport
or
2) internally adjust html.width (keeping the value on 'auto') (overriding
init-state at 9.1.2)
so scrolling could take place when the content exceeds the viewport
