Yes, that's what I thought.

OK, but what about this case instead. Given the same HTML, but using
this CSS instead:
body { min-height: 50px; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
div { height: 20px; margin-bottom: 80px; }
In this case, the height of the body would be 50px. But the height of
the div plus it's margin is 100px, so should the margin collapse through
the body element by 50px?
