A handful of things were left intentionally undefined in CSS 2.1
because browsers differed, and there wasn't a strong expectation that
they would converge their behaviors in a reasonable amount of time.
Rather than hold up finishing 2.1 indefinitely, we undefined those
behaviors, or defined more than one possible behavior that browsers
could use.

In this case, browsers still haven't converged, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
