What is the logic behind retaining margins after forced breaks being the default behavior in the CSS3 multi-column spec? I would expect the opposite behavior to be the default. CSS2.1 says: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/page.html#page-break-props "Note: It is expected that CSS3 will specify that the relevant 'margin-top' applies (i.e., is not set to '0') after a forced page break." CSS3 Multi-Column says: http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/CR-css3-multicol-20091217/#column-breaks "However, the margin immediately after a forced page/column break will be preserved." It even goes on to include an example that explicitly reinforces this default. Can someone explain the logic behind this default, because I don't get it. We collapse away margins at the top of a document, i.e., on the first page... why would a header at the top of a later page be treated any differently? I have no objection to having control over the behavior, but shouldn't the default be that the margin-top is set to 0 after a forced break? dave (hyatt@apple.com)
