Because the mental model at least some people seem to have of relative positioning is that it's a purely graphical effect: you paint the thing into its own surface, and then composite the surface with an offset. Or something. This is the only way I can explain some of the requirements on relative positioning in the spec... Note that neither Webkit nor Gecko actually implement this behavior at this time; Opera does; I don't have IE8 on hand right this second to check. I can guarantee that for Gecko in standards mode the parent (the one the text-decoration is specified on) in fact paints the text decorations, period. -Boris
