My point was that bottom and right seem to be often overlooked when
designing stylesheets because long term writers of HTML are used to
thinking in terms of top, left, width and height because of the flow
model. I assume that when writing the CSS spec the writers considered
the VERY common need to have a fixed padding or border as well as a
percentage width. Without right and bottom this is only possible if you
use the Microsoft quirk of having the border and padding included in
the width as you can't say width: 100% - 10px. Am I right it thinking
that the CSS spec was designed to use bottom and right for this problem
because they rarely seem to be mentioned in the many, many posts asking
how to achieve simple sizing of rectangles? If so then Internet
Explorer's bad support for these properties is at the very heart of
many web designers problems. My question was how does Microsoft say
that this basic layout should be implemented?
