[CSS21] response to issue 164

This is the CSS WG's response to an issue you raised on the last CSS
2.1 draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-CSS21-20030915). We want to
publish CSS 2.1 as a CR in about two weeks. Please let us know this
week if you think our response is wrong.

    S9.5.2 Controlling flow next to floats: the 'clear' property
    http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-CSS21-20030915/visuren.html#flow-control

    # The clearance dimension is introduced as a dimension above the
    # margin-top of an element that is used to push the element
    # vertically (typically downward).

    Calling it a dimension doesn't seem quite right. How about:

      Clearance is introduced as spacing above the margin-top of an
      element. It is used to push the element vertically downward,
      past the float.

CSS WG response:
    Changed.


For the CSS WG,
Bert
