This page contains the issues that are not yet listed in the specification and the resolutions for issues that were in the spec. but got resolved.

===== Action Items =====

===== Issues =====
==== Issue 1:  ====

Changing the positioning edge. Or changing the containing block.

Original proposal: http://www.xanthir.com/blog/b48H0

Posponed discussion until TPAC
==== Issue 2: ====

Proposal from Tantek and Ian: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-css-wg/2002JulSep/0296.html

Resolved: Proposal modified and added
==== Issue 3: ====

Need to add in logic to all the positioning logic to account for vertical layouts.


==== Issue 4: ====

z-index needs to account for CSS3-floats

Resolved: Handled in CSS Exclusions and Shapes

==== Issue 5: ====

The CSS3 Positioning module needs a section that explains exactly how *static position* is computed. As part of this definition the following should be added:
“The static position of any CSS 2.1 absolutely positioned element or exclusion element is determined without taking into consideration the wrapping context.”
