I'm trying to write a (executable and analyzable) model of CSS2.1 (and some of 3). Much of the CSS standard is intentionally undefined to give leeway to browsers; however, that doesn't make it clear what browsers actually do (esp. when features interact). In hopes of tightening the standards etc., I'm trying to build models of what browsers actually do. Are there writeups of how WebKit deviates from the standard or what it picks as an interpretation for unspecified behavior in the standard? In particular, writeups closer to http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-tables-algorithms/Overview.src.htm than say the Quirksmode analyses.

My process has been to reverse engineer through tests and go through WebKit source code but there is obviously a lot of noise and missed detail this way. I'm not sure what the ideal correspondence between spec and implementation is, but I suspect having an analyzable/queryable non-performance oriented specification of what the WebKit algorithms are doing would help.

Thanks in advance,

- Leo
