This is the CSS WG's response to an issue you raised on the last CSS

publish CSS 2.1 as a CR in about two weeks. Please let us know this
week if you think our response is wrong.

    S9.5 Floats
    http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-CSS21-20030915/visuren.html#floats

    # The top of the floated box is aligned with the top of the
    # current line box (or bottom of the preceding block box if no
    # line box exists).

    Are you saying that a float floats over it's parent's top
    margin+border+padding?

CSS WG response:
    Replaced with:

      If there's a line box, the top of the floated box is aligned
      with the top of the current line box.


For the CSS WG,
Bert
