According to CSS1/CSS2, neither, which is a problem for list bullets.
It does make sense for small floats that *can* fit in the margin. This
has been discussed before [1], and hopefully CSS3 will have a solution
for this problem, probably similar to the one in the current CSS3 box
model draft [2]. Does that solution seem sufficient?
