I think the strange horizontal offset of the blue square you see in 
Chrome in the 2nd gray rectangle (the one with "relative with no offset" 
.. but it should say "relative with *auto* offset") is what the spec 
says and means by

"
The containing block of an element is defined as follows:
(...)
     If the element has 'position: absolute', the containing block is 
established by the nearest ancestor with a 'position' of 'absolute', 
'relative' or 'fixed', in the following way:
         In the case that the ancestor is an inline element, the 
containing block is *_the bounding box around the padding boxes of the 
first and the last inline boxes_* generated for that element.
"
§10.1 10.1 Definition of "containing block"
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#containing-block-details

The "that element" means, is, refers to the (nearest positioned) inline 
ancestor.

What am I missing? Where am I wrong? ... just asking..
