I think it's well-defined but the browsers are buggy. Firefox is certainly buggy in that non-blocks that are relatively positioned don't act as a containing block for absolutely positioned descendants. (I think there are some things that are undefined, like what should happen to borders in border-collapse:collapse tables when parts of the table (e.g., rows, cells, etc.) are relatively positioned. I think in that case the borders should just stay where they are.) -David -- L.
