Other specs also use formulations such as "elements whose 'flow-from' value is not 'none'", in which it's implicit that the value is the computed value. (Bear in mind that 'inherit' is long gone by computed value time.) Is it an unwritten rule for CSS specs that values are to be interpreted as computed values where not explicitly specified? I think it generally is in CSS21 at least. Cheers, Anton Prowse http://dev.moonhenge.net
