Hello fellow stylesheet colleagues,

I'd like to be sure about my understanding of the inline box model.

Question: In this webpage,
http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSe...eElements.html
I submit that inline box height should not grow, should not stretch
vertically to fit nested inline child elements. Am I wrong? I can't
seem to find the exact spot where CSS 2.1 says so.

Same issue, same question with
http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSe...I-padding.html
and
http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSe...LI-margin.html

I think CSS 2.1, section 10.6.1
applies, in particular
"The vertical padding, border and margin of an inline, non-replaced
box start at the top and bottom of the content area, not the 'line-
height'. But only the 'line-height' is used when calculating the
height of the line box."
