These two references still haven't been removed in the CSS2.1 WD (unless it's been done since Dec7 last year). The latter will be gone when my edits for list-style-image are accepted, but the 10.3.2 reference still exists. It appears that it can be deleted outright. For reference, we resolved to remove these two references in the Nov17 telcon <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Nov/0264.html>. ~TJ
