Also, I think in the cases where it has unexpected behavior, it's relatively straightforward to understand what's going on. > > It doesn't seem like there was any opposition to this approach in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Aug/0615.html, although Boris was maybe skeptical it was actually less confusing. > > Ojan
