Browsers differ from each other, from common sense, and from the specs by

Given that we've discussed more than 2 models in this thread, that there
are at least two interpretations of the CSS2 model, and that CSS2.1 and
the current CSS3 draft have yet more models, I'm not sure how to answer
that. :-) Obviously, CSS3 is trying to be the best model.

See the CSS3 Generated and Replaced Content model, which is part of the
same model:
