Most ruthless standardistas did read the spec, so they are aware, that negative
values are allowed.
Take a look at this http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#values
and also this http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#margin-properties:

"Negative values for margin properties are allowed, but there may be
implementation-specific limits."
