I think one of the of the most logical effects on .child should be: { height:
10px; min-height: 50px }
In other words that height percentages of min-height defines min-height.
The problem with that we can end up with two min-heights, but it can be dealt
with. Either by letting it only happen when explicit min-height is default or
let it combine with explicit min-height (largest wins).
