> e-1) font-stretch
> The 'font-stretch' property doesn't exist in CSS 2.1.
> (But revived in CSS 3)
> 
> e-2) marker-offset
> The 'marker-offset' property doesn't exist in CSS 2.1.
> (Also doesn't exit in CSS 3)
> 
> e-3) page
> The 'page' property doesn't exist in CSS 2.1.

> I would say font-stretch and marker-offset is not so important,
> but the page is very important for CSS Print.
> Treated as the same as 'size' property?
> (The spec says that we should refer CSS3 for the 'size' property)

> e-4) visibility
> Inheritance of visibility is:
>   CSS2: no
>   CSS2.1: yes
>   CSS3: no
> Although its not the conflict in CSS Print, but what spec must we 
> follow? As CSS2.1 says, inherited:yes???
> 
> e-5) list-style-type
> The CSS Print Spec says values for list-style-type is: 
> disc, decimal, lower-alpha, upper-alpha, none and inherit.
> But Values lower-alpha, upper-alpha don't exist in CSS 2.1.
> 
> Must printer vendors impliment lower-alpha and upper-alpha?
> Can content authers use lower-alpha and upper-alpha?

> I think it would be better that table in chapter 4, 
> CSS Print Profile spec be re-written so that it conforms

> (But PrintEnhanced:1 has already referenced
