The CSSWG has addressed your concerns in the upcoming publication of the CSS 2.1 specification[1]. The CSSWG resolved to the following: | When such an inline box is affected by relative positioning, any resulting | translation also affects the block-level box contained in the inline box. We hope this closes your issue. Please respond before 18 March, 2011 if you do not accept the current resolution. [1] http://w3.org/TR/CSS
