Really?
In that case, what's your mental model of the box tree in this case:
<div style="display: table">
<div style="display: table-cell"/>
<div style="position: absolute"/>
<div style="display: table-row"/>
</div>
What are the siblings of the absolutely positioned box? What is its
parent? What are the siblings' parents? Why does any of that make any
sense?
