Adding a new property for this purpose seems unnecessary, as there is already "display" and "visibility". Allowing display to be conditional is quite nice. How about space permits when the block (I'm assuming this would only sensibly apply to blocks) can be placed in the normal flow with the usual collapsing margins without overflowing the page box? On the other hand, it could be seen as saying that when the box overflows its containing box, the box should be removed from the flow. Better in overflow than display perhaps? Michael
