    That's not how it should work-- it's how you want it to work. 
There is a difference.  The specification alone describes how CSS 
should work, whether or not we like what it has to say.  If this 
thread continues any further, which I personally don't think it 
should, let's please at least keep that distinction clear.  Otherwise 
you risk confusing people who are new to CSS about what's per the 
specification and what isn't, which I would very much like to avoid. 
Thank you.
