Categories: resolutions

Resolved: Make a new block formatting context when the block direction (writing mode) changes. Margins outside the BFC do collapse.
Resolved: For CSS2.1 Issue 80 (Make XHTML <body> magic just like in HTML) adopt chapter 11 and 14 wording proposal from issues-4:31.
Discussed CSS2.1 Issue 79, resolved that margins do not collapse, but didn’t define what that means.
Resolved: For CSS2.1 Issue 60 (Z-Index): Add “non-positioned” in (3) (4) and (5) in the 7-point list in 9.9.1 and change “float’s parent’s stacking context” to “float’s parent stacking context”. No other changes. Hixie to email proposal author about this resolution, ask for testcases if there are remaining substantive issues.
