I think the CSS3 spec rsolves your problem. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-box/#the-float-displace http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-lists/#markers Both of these have W3C internal draft versions that have been updated to fix some problems discovered with the above sections, so I wouldn't recommend looking too closely at the text at this point. But the ideas should be clear enough. CSS2.1 is vague enough, IMHO, to allow the CSS3 interpretation as one of the allowed renderings. I guess we could make it even vaguer. We don't want to specify the exact behaviour in 2.1 because (a) we haven't completely agreed on what that is yet and (b) the new behaviour is intrinsincly linked to new pseudo-elements and properties, and is hard to describe without introducing them. -- Ian Hickson )\._.,--....,'``. fL U+1047E /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. http://index.hixie.ch/ `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
