Reported by Kang-Hao (Kenny) Lu 9.5.1 ('float') says: # left # # The element generates a block box that is floated to the left. # Content flows on the right side of the box, starting at the top # (subject to the 'clear' property). s/block/block-level/ Conversation begins: Bug description: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Mar/0351.html
11.1.1 (Overflow: the 'overflow' property) says: # visible # This value indicates that content is not clipped, i.e., it may be # rendered outside the block box. s/block/element's/ since the box is not necessarily a block box (nor even a block container box; see Bug 15381), and the phrase "element's box" is used elsewhere in this section.
17.4 (Tables in the visual formatting model) says: # In terms of the visual formatting model, a table can behave like a # block-level (for 'display: table') or inline-level (for # 'display: inline-table') element. # # In both cases, the table generates a principal block box called the table # wrapper box s/block box/block container box/ since the box is not necessarily block-level, as described in the first quoted paragraph.
