All right, I've been considering this. I don't see anything else that
it could possibly mean, though. Take this test-case:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<title>Test</title>
<style>
body { margin: 10px 0 0 0;}
</style>
<div style="float: left; width: 100px; height: 100px; background: green"></div>
<div style="clear: left; width: 200px; margin: 20px 0 30px 0; outline:
2px solid orange;"></div>
<div style="background: blue; margin: 10px 0 0 0;">I'm a helper element.</div>
Rendering between Firefox and Chrome differ, but I don't see how, in
either case, the "border edge" mentioned in that line is anything
other than the hypothetical border edge of the preceding paragraph.
Any other definition of "border edge" I can think of would yield
observably different behavior.
Is there some particular definition of "border edge" you fear might be
used here?
