Having two different ways of doing it would also be confusing and would need the interactions explaining. In general, such tactics make it more difficult for people trying to override properties, because they have to know that they need to override both (although I think that few people would want to override block centering - although many might want to override text-align centre). Is it possible to make the new property simply be a shorthand for margin auto. (I guess the main difference between that and what people want might be that they want something that defaults to inherit. However, I think that the real problem with margin auto is that the concept is too mathematical, rather than the inheritance rules.) -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
