So... new issue: in
<div style="height: 500px;">
<div style="height: 10px;"/>
</div>
We can't find anything in the spec that says these margins aren't
adjoining, but there's this sentence in 8.3.1
# the expression collapsing margins means that adjoining margins
# (no non-empty content, padding or border areas or clearance
# separate them) of two or more boxes (which may be next to one
# another or nested) combine to form a single margin.
which says that they are adjoining and do collapse.
Given the effort that went into that paragraph about min/max-height,
it doesn't seem like this interpretation was the spec writers' intent.
Are we missing a sentence somewhere else or is this really a gaping
hole in the Collapsing margins section?
