I don't understand how 'auto', 'avoid' and 'always' differ. (FYI: 'inherit' is now defined at the declaration syntax level and need not be mentioned in property definitions.) I also don't understand what this property _does_. Does it make elements invisible? How? What order do elements reappear? etc. There is a fatal flaw in the propsal I made, by the way: it has pseudo-classes that depend on properties. I'll need to think about it more. -- Ian Hickson )\._.,--....,'``. fL "meow" /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. http://index.hixie.ch/ `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
