We currently respect vertical margins on the first page and after 
user-requested page breaks, eg. page-break-after: always, or use of 
named pages. This avoids the scenario of specifying a top margin on a 
chapter heading with absolutely no effect, which can be baffling.

Vertical margins at involuntary page breaks are set to zero.

Block margins are collapsed with page margins, assuming that the page 
has no border or margin content.

Best regards,

Michael
