I've run into this problem numerous times when designing or troubleshooting HTML documents. That said, I don't see a use case for the |discard| value that /authors/ would use. I'm also not sure that you really need to properties for both the top and bottom margins; suppressing them altogether via a single property would probably be enough. — Patrick Garies
