The CSS2.2 definition from here:
In CSS, the adjoining margins of two or more boxes (which might or might not be siblings) can combine to form a single margin. Margins that combine this way are said to collapse, and the resulting combined margin is called a collapsed margin.
Only two or more boxes can result to collapsed margin, but in fact, one box can also result to collapsed margin.
See here:
top and bottom margins of a box that does not establish a new block formatting context and that has zero computed 'min-height', zero or 'auto' computed 'height', and no in-flow children
I wonder if there is a problem in the description of 'two or more boxes'.
