http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-sizing/#block-intrinsic says: # The max-content measure of a block container box is the measure # of the box after layout, if all children are sized under a # max-content constraint. I don't think this is what any current implementation does (although some implementations -- old Gecko and old IE -- used to compute it that way), and it's distinguishable from implementation behavior in many testcases. Implementations actually use heuristics (which I believe match pretty well, but not perfectly) to determine when float intrinsic widths should be added to block intrinsic widths and when they should just be max()'d. I believe these heuristics should be specified. -David -- 𝄞 L.
