RE: clarification for display vs. position

It would certainly be easiest for me to make no change in IE's handling. It is the easiest to define exactly.

I am not sure it is what is currently "expected" here, considering that behavior for "display:block" is consistent across all other browsers.

I think there's agreement on the former.  IE doesn't do the latter.  Gecko does,
more or less.  Safari, as you said, also does.  But I'm not sure that's really
what we want, necessarily.
