I kinda like your proposal to (virtually) merge "display-outside" and "position" but I don't like the "position-offset" property. The "top" and "left" properties did the job for years in conjuction with "position: relative" and nobody has been confused about it yet. What about "position: relative inline;" and "position: relative block" that would act the same way as "display: inline/block; position: relative" now (using top/left as the offset source)? If you want to "offset" the position of an element regardless of its "position" and "display" state, you can already use "transform: translate()" for that kind of use. In some cases, tweaking "margin" could do the trick, too. Why is there a need to introduce a new property here? François
