>> Note that the lines shown above would never actually be rendered by a >> UA.

I would appreciate if >someone can explain how (for example) the border is >where it is. I sympathize wholeheartedly, Matthew. This is exactly where I was at the beginning of the week, which is what led me to post the original message. That posting touched off some discussion within the CSS&FP WG in which it was revealed that, although many WG members understood the inline formatting model, it took most of an hour for them to discover that they agreed in their interpretation how it worked. (So I didn't feel so bad for not getting it.) I am currently writing up an explanation, based on the WG discussion and currently under WG review, which I hope will help answer your question(s) as they did mine. With any luck, I'll be able to publish the URL today or tomorrow. -- Eric A.
