> padding-top:auto; > padding-bottom:auto; Apart from the point already made about borders, this would make the rules for resolving multiple autos and overconstrained cases even more complex than they already are. Looking at the current rules, it seems fairly clear that there was a policy decision that either the top or the bottom of a box must be fixed before rendering of the contents starts. Otherwise having both top and bottom margins auto would have centered non-replaced content when the height was auto. As it is, the rules go out of the way to ensure that this only happens when the height is known, either explicitly or because it is the intrinsic height of a replaced element.
