There seems to be some mixing up of elements and boxes here. It's not  
completely clear to me if the parent/child relationships described are  
supposed to refer to the document tree or the formatting structure.

Also, what's an inline element (/"non-inline parent"/"non-inline  
element"/"inline child") exactly? The term seems to be used elsewhere too,  
but I only see definitions (if they can be called that) for "inline-level  
element" and "inline box".
