That is not a case of 'margin-collapsing'. :-) In this case, the bottom-margin of the last-child paragraph is swallowed by the overflow on the parent box (the one with overflow:auto and height:100% set). You'd have to look at CSS2.1:10.6, esp 10.6.3 and 10.6.6 (which is not so clear), and check CSS2.1:8.3.1 Opera 9.5, Gecko 1.9 (fx3), gecko 1.91.pre, WebKit (nightly build and Safari 3.1) are consistent in this. IE6 & 7 also swallow the bottom-margin, as 'hasLayout' is true on the parent box.
