<P><em>This appendix is informative, not normative.</em></P>
<P>CSS 2.1 is an updated revision of CSS2. The changes between
the CSS2 specification (see <a href="refs.html#ref-CSS2" rel="biblioentry" class="noxref"><span class="informref">[CSS2]</span></a>) and this specification fall into
five groups: <a href="#known-errors">known errors,</a> typographical
errors, <a href="#clarifications">clarifications,</a> <a
href="#changes">changes</a> and <a href="#new">additions.</a>
Typographical errors are not listed here.</P>
<p>In addition, this chapter lists the <a href="#errata">errata</a>
that were subsequently applied to CSS 2.1 since it became a
Candidate Recommendation in July 2007.
<p>This chapter is not a complete list of changes. Minor editorial
changes and most changes to examples are also not listed here.</p>

<p>The "escape" macro has been modified to allow the escaping of any
character except newlines, form feeds, and hex digits (to avoid
conflict with unicode escapes).</p>
<p>Modified "string1" and "string2" macros by defining allowed characters

<h3 id="c6.1"><a name="q36">C.2.29 </a><a href="cascade.html#value-stages">Section 6.1 Specified, computed, and actual values</a></h3>
<p>Redefined "computed value" and created the concept of "used value"
so that inheritance can be performed without laying out the document.
This change has the effect of allowing (requiring) percentages to be inherited
as percentages and affects many other layout calculations throughout the spec.</p>
<p>Since computed value of a property can now also be a percentage. In
particular, the following properties now inherit the percentage if the
specified value is a percentage:
<ul>
<li>background-position
<li>bottom, left, right, top
<li>height, width
<li>margin-bottom, margin-left, margin-right, margin-top,
<li>min-height, min-width

margins from being adjoining.</p>
<p>Vertical margins of elements with 'overflow' other than 'visible' no longer
collapse with their in-flow children.</p>
<p>Defined how margins collapse through an element with adjoining top and

<p>Added that margins of the root element's box do not collapse.</p>
<p>More rigorously <a href="box.html#what-is-adjoining">defined "adjoining" for margin collapsing</a>.</p>
<p>Sixth bullet, second sub-bullet: to find the position of the top

<p>Defined the computed value of 'display' as the specified value

The computed value of 'display' for these elements is defined in

<p>For fixed positioning, introduced a conflict between this section

'visible' establish new block formatting contexts.</p>
<p>In the paragraph about the position of a box's outer edge with respect

(These were not previously defined.)</p>
<h3 id="c9.5"><a name="q58">C.2.51 </a><a href="visuren.html#floats">Section 9.5
Floats</a></h3>
<p>Floats are no longer required to have an explicit width.</p>
<p>Floats outside of line boxes no longer align to the bottom of
the preceding block box; it is implied that they are initially
aligned with their non-floated position.</p>
<p>Specified that "If a shortened line box is too small to contain any
further content, then it is shifted downward until either it fits or
there are no more floats present."</p>
<p>Specified that the border box of a table, block-level replaced element,

context must not overlap any floats in the same block formatting context.</p>
<h3 id="c9.5.1"><a name="q59">C.2.52 </a><a href="visuren.html#float-position">Section 9.5.1

<p>The 'float' property now also applies to :before/:after and generated

CSS1 (but not CSS2 or CSS 2.1) allows 'clear' on inline elements.</p>

<h3 id="c9.9"><a name="q62">C.2.55 </a><a href="visuren.html#layers">Section 9.9

<h3 id="c9.10"><a name="q63">C.2.56 </a><a href="visuren.html#direction">Section 9.10
Text direction</a></h3>
<p>Conforming UAs are now allowed to not support bidirectional text; in
this case they must ignore the 'direction' and 'unicode-bidi' properties.
However since applying bidi can have an effect even when a document
doesn't contain right-to-left characters, UAs that do support bidi are
no longer permitted to not apply the algorithm just because the document
lacks right-to-left characters.</p>
<p>Added a paragraph to define precisely how the Unicode bidirectional
algorithm applies to text in the CSS formatting model and how the CSS
'direction' property on blocks maps into the algorithm.</p>
<p>Conforming HTML UAs are no longer exempt from supporting 'direction'
and 'unicode-bidi'.</p>
<h3 id="c10"><a name="q64">C.2.57 </a><a href="visudet.html">Chapter

<p>In rule 4.1, when the containing block of an absolutely-positioned
