[CSS21] response to issue 187

This is the CSS WG's response to an issue you raised on the last CSS
2.1 draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-CSS21-20030915). We want to
publish CSS 2.1 as a CR in about two weeks. Please let us know this
week if you think our response is wrong.

    S9.4.1 Block formatting context
    http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-CSS21-20030915/visuren.html#q15
    # In a block formatting context, each box's left outer edge touches the
    # left edge of the containing block (for right-to-left formatting, right
    # edges touch). This is true even in the presence of floats (although a
    # box's line boxes may shrink due to the floats).

    What about clearance?

CSS WG response:
    Clearance doesn't affect it (wrong axis) -- See also issue 60b.



For the CSS WG,
Bert
