Probably cases where there is declaration which doesn't apply for the current element, like 'margin-top' for 'inline' element or may be property for different kind of media not supported by the particular UA, but that shouldn't be taken into account because: * in the first case: 'margin-top' is assigned and could be applied later if the element become 'block' element. Further, there may are and in practice there are always broken implementations and nobody is aiming to invent an AI for detecting such UA errors to be incorporated in the CSS spec. * in the second case: authors should be noted they shouldn't mix properties applying to different kind of media because a particular UA could possibly not understand them therefore invalidating the other declarations. Generally such "test" blocks should are relatively short and most of the style would go in the "normal" style sheet. -- Stanimir
