I just remember the situation that made me wonder about the alignment
algorithm:
If I align the *top* of an element B to the *top* of another element A
then any margin defined in A is ignored. Only the margin values for B
are valid. This looks quite inconsistent to me. To what will B be
aligned? To the border of the element or to the border plus margin? When
I change the alignment so that the top of B is aligned to the *bottom*
of A then suddenly the (bottom) margins of A are take into account. That
drove me nuts the first time because the alignment editor only shows me
the margin values of the element I wanted to align but I never thought
that margins of the other element play any role here. And it seems that
for *some* cases this is true but for others it is not.
