I agree that it should affect the height of the div. I think this effect should normally happen through influence on the height of a line box (the same line box that the marker aligns with). Did you test what happens when there is no appropriate line box present? I'd note that if the list-item's first child is a block, the line-box in question can be inside that block (or its first child block, etc.). Are there tests that show whether the height increase happens through increasing the height of the line box in the case where that child block has a smaller font-size (and thus smaller line-height)? (This can be tested by giving the nested block a background and seeing if its top lines up with the top of its parent.) Are there tests that show whether the height increase happens through increasing the height of a line box in the case where there would otherwise be no line box? This can be tested in the nested block case by giving the inner block a background, and without nested blocks by looking at baseline-alignment of an inline-block containing such a list-item. If there's interoperability on these cases, I suspect we'd want to stick to the interoperable behavior, but if there isn't, I think we should discuss which we prefer. -David -- L.
