  Applies to:  positioned elements
CSS2.1 says the same thing.
"positioned elements" in this context means "anything with position not
static".
> and relative position may be problem, as well as fixed one;
> out-of-flow position make overlapping among elements.

It's completely well-defined by the z-ordering description in the spec, as far
as I can tell....

We are all agreed that your theory is crazy.  The
question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough
to have a chance of being correct.  My own feeling is
that it is not crazy enough.
