Thanks Finn, this spec is a treasure trove of quirks and mysteries. Why is xxx-left/right a length and xxx-start/end a length conditional? I assume it has to do with CSS backwards compatibility? Any way this means there is no way to set borders/padding using a shorthand and then overwriting the conditionality. Not to worry - I certainly learned just a little bit more today. > > regards, > finn regards Manuel
