The specification is implementable, and makes more sense in typical use cases than the implementations we looked at. (Typical use cases for this would only have one of 'left' or 'right' set, not both. When both are set, if the width is indeed negative, then one of the two will simply be ignored, since the content will be over-constrained.) Since there doesn't appear to be interoperability, it is up to UAs to fix their rendering to match the spec. > Grammar issues: > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2004Jun/0013.html These are being examined. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
