I think, and I suspect others agree, that the fact that z-index doesn't Just Work without 'position: relative' was a mistake in the design of CSS2. There's already a distinction between 'z-index: auto' and 'z-index: 0' that can easily distinguish a stacking context at the default level vs. a non-stacking-context at default level. The question I have is, going forward, do we want new CSS layout modes to let z-index do its job whenever it's non-'auto', without requiring 'position: relative'? (If so, we should start with making it work in flexbox.) ~fantasaiReceived on Monday, 9 July 2012 07:24:30 UTC
