Hmm... I think I may not have correctly created a reduced testcase from
Ian Hickson's testcase after all...

I have done this right here:

http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/margin-collapsing-and-abs-pos-Tab-Atkins.html

My initial testcase (and Ian Hickson's testcases) involved empty divs with
margins.

Well, then, in such case,

http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100727/html4/abspos-021.htm

should be rejected because the rendered layout can be rendered differently.


I need to take a pause and re-examine all this carefully. My testcase may
not be a correct reduction of Ian Hickson testcase to start with.
