David,

That works in the one example, but the purpose of me setting these the way I
did was so that ANY element that was the FIRST element in either of those
DIVs would have a margin-top value of 0 pixels. It's a heck of a lot less
coding that doing a universal reset on all possible elements, and then
having to make all vertical margin adjustments using only the bottom one. 

Also, this will be destined for a user-maintainable CMS setup. So while I
could always create a "first-element" class that has a margin-top value of
0, I have no guarantee that the end-user content editor will remember to
apply that class the first element --OR-- remove it if a previous
first-element now falls lower into the content.

...Rob
