Indeed. I doubt introducing a new intricate model would help matters though. :-) > I think previous posts to this list makes it rather clear that the model > is complex and difficult to understand.

We shall see if anyone implements it; if they don't then it will have to be taken out of the spec. Personally I think the inline box model is fine as is. There are certainly much more important areas of CSS to extend than this one. -- Ian Hickson )\._.,--....,'``. fL U+1047E /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. http://index.hixie.ch/ `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
