Not > sure why it matters where an element is positioned. That's exactly why it is an issue ! Imagine an element having a sub-element positioned outside of its parent. IF :hover works like a mouse event, then it bubbles from the original target to the parent. But the mouse event occured OUTSIDE of the box of the parent, which is not easy to understand from a CSS author's perspective since he/she is not manipulating a mouse event in a DOM but a pointer hovering some elements in a window... </Daniel>
