This is precisely why I'd rather have 0 0 at the top left of the
padding edge.
Consistency goes either way. And even though CSS1 explicitly paints
borders on top of the background, with the current state of browser
implementations and CSS2 wording, I think it would be easier to
correct the one passing mention of background in the border area in
8.5.3 than the five (or six) instances of just content & padding.
Browsers tested:
Mozilla - inconsistent between image(14.2) & color(CSS1)
MSIE 5.5Win, MSIE6b - inconsistent between tables (14.2)
& blocks(CSS1)
Opera - inconsistent between image(14.2) & color(CSS1)
Amaya - consistent--follows 14.2
CSS2 Sections affected:
14.2 x 3 (4?) places, 8.1, 17.5.1 vs. 8.5.3
