I think I found it. There's a subtility between used and computed value.

div.outer's used top value is 60px
div.outer's used bottom value is -60px
div.outer's computed top value is auto!
div.outer's computed bottom value is -50%

Therefore
div.inner's specified top value is auto.


Ok. Sorry for asking.
