Sorry to be a pain... Anyway, sec. 7.5.1 in the Recommendation says that absolute-position causes the area to be positioned relative to the area's "containing area". I realized that I may have no idea what "containing area" means. I searched Section 4 and could not find a definition. Is an area A's containing area always the same thing as A's parent? (Not all formatting objects generate areas, but only those that do can in turn have as a child one that does... right?) Or would the "containing area" defined along the lines of "the nearest ancestor X such that Y"? Once again, any help very much appreciated. ~ML
