Can we find a way to use 'display', 'position', 'top/left/bottom/right' on the cues, too? (And possibly also 'overflow', 'z-index', 'clip' and 'cursor'?) 53541 1 mike 2011-08-04 05:14:54 +0000 mass-move component to LC1 54933 2 ian 2011-08-14 06:50:26 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: It would make no sense to allow 'display' as the cues have their own custom display logic. Similarly position/top/left/bottom/right/height/width make no sense as the cues themselves give their dimensions and position. 'overflow' makes no sense since 'auto' and 'scroll' would be meaningless and 'visible' would defeat the whole point of some of the positioning logic. I don't see the use case for 'clip'. 'cursor' seems pointless since they're not interactive. 'z-index' might maybe make sense, but why would you intentionally overlay cues and then layer them out of order?
