I believe this issue was addressed as CSS2.1 Issue 220: http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css2.1#issue-220 > I also note that visuren.html#propdef-direction appears to be trying to give a > complete list of the effects of the 'direction' property, but the list seems to > omit 'clip', resolution of border conflicts with collapsed table border model, > which margin is ignored (10.3), and probably other things (search for > propdef-direction). I suggest either adding to its list of effects, or making > it clearer that it's not a complete list. I've filed this as CSS2.1 Issue 235: http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css2.1#issue-235 ~fantasai
