I go to the Regions spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-css3-regions-20111129/#usecases and follow the link to: http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css3-regions/regions-use-cases In that document you find the text I quoted. Hi Håkon, I guess I mis-read what you said. The first text you quoted: > > The following image illustrates the need to be able to flow content > > around an arbitrarily shaped area. is in there. I see that (I had seen that before sending my email). The second text you quoted: > > The following image illustrates the need to be able to insert an > > element between two columns. Is the one I could not find on that page. I think mistake is that where you wrote: > > Shouldn't you also have an example, with Steve's pull-quote image, > > where you say: [...] the text that follows is your suggestion to introduce Steve's example on that page. We can add the example, but I would use a different wording. What you propose implies that the requirement for regions and exclusions is to provide a way to position/insert the exclusion between columns. As I was saying in the rest of my answer and other messages, this is not in the scope for these two specifications. I can add the example and say that it shows an example where an exclusion and a regions are used and note that the positioning in the center of 2 columns would be addressed by other specifications. Cheers, Vincent
