Well, there was a request for clarification. On the telecon yesterday David Baron suggested adding a more explicit note about the display recomputation: dbaron: might want to add a parenthetical to make it more clear <fantasai> Add something like: (This may require a hypothetical recomputation of the 'display' property.) ? dbaron: not sure I'd put it that way <dbaron> Something more like: (Note that the rules in section 9.7 mean that a different specified value of 'position' or 'float' can result in a different value for 'display', which means this hypothetical calculation may need to presume a different value for 'display'.) I'd prefer something shorter than that, though, to avoid making this section hard to read. Maybe | (Note that due to the rules in section 9.7 this might require also | assuming a different computed value for 'display'.) if that's acceptable. So the full proposal would be In # a hypothetical box that would have been the first box of the element # if its 'position' property had been 'static' and 'float' had been 'none'. replace # if its 'position' property had been 'static' and 'float' had been 'none'. with | if its specified 'position' value had been 'static' and its specified | 'float' had been 'none'. (Note that due to the rules in section 9.7 | this might require also assuming a different computed value for | 'display'.) in both 10.3.7 - http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#abs-non-replaced-width and 10.6.4 - http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#abs-non-replaced-height ~fantasai
