Say I have rule
html, body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
and I have content that requires more than one viewport height of
vertical space, is the html (or body) element supposed to grow, or
is the content supposed to overflow the root (or body) element? I'd
rather set min-height: 100%; so that the root element would grow as
required for sure, but that browser from Redmond doesn't support it.
At least some versions of Opera enforced the height to 100% and
overflowed the content which really messed up one style that used
absolute positioning with bottom property.
