Perhaps I did a poor job of describing my issue with the "it's a replaced element or not" proposal... my problem is that it violates the principle of least surprise for authors. This is a problem that CSS suffers from heavily in general -- predicting the rendering of anything but the most trivial CSS is pretty much impossibly without studying the spec for weeks first. Again, I can't offer a better alternative. But I disagree with the assertion made by Ian earlier in this thread that this is a usability win. Anything that exhibits erratic (from an author's point of view) behavior is a usability loss. -Boris
