For example, consider the statement in CSS 2.1, section 10.3.3: # If both 'margin-left' and 'margin-right' are 'auto', their used # values are equal. If the amount of space to be divided is an odd number of pixels, then the actual values can't be equal because they have to be rounded differently. There are also many places where CSS 2.1 says how the used value is determined; if these have to be replaced by actual value, then do we also need to say that rounding is performed at every one of these places? I thought the group had resolved to add the cycle() proposal to the draft as well, but I can't find any record of it.
