If I need to accommodate the jutting text (an exodent, to coin a > term), I can widen the padding. Am I missing something? I tried to use this approce once but had to give it up since not all browsers support "text-indent". So what I would have ended up with would have been all lines indented instead of all but the first. With a "hanging indent" property I could have ended up with no lines indented, which was how i would have wanted to degrade for older browsers. So to put it shortly, with a "hanging indent" property i could get a different fallback mechanism for non-supporting browsers then padding+"text-indent" allows. / Jonas Sicking
