http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/generate.html#markers :
<blockquote>
'marker-offset'
Value:
<length> | auto | inherit
Initial:
auto
Applies to:
elements with 'display: marker'
Inherited:
no
Percentages:
N/A
Media:
visual
This property specifies the distance between the
nearest border edges of a marker box and its
associated principal box. The offset may either be a
user-specified (<length>)
or chosen by the UA
('auto').
</blockquote>
Should read: the value chosen for auto should be
constant and should not be less than 0.
This is since current UAs maintain a contstant
distance between the left edge of the the marker box
and the left of the principal block.
As a result, large images overlap the text.
This is not wrong according to this definition, but
clearly is undesirable and should be changed.
