24655 - Check Mozilla w.r.t. David's inline box model {ll} [INLINE]

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect, P2)

Description

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

I need to write test cases to check that Mozilla implements David's inline box
model. Things to check are:

   * Anonymous inline should be baseline aligned (see bug 24495)
   * Multiple fonts in an inline should have font-box sized to fit all of them
   * Inheritance (specified/computed/actual)
   * Extreme cases for vertical-align

David, I'm setting you as QA Contact for this bug, since you wrote the docs...
Can you see anything else that we need to check?

   * Handling of inlines within blocks
   * everything else...

This is currently broken and blocked on bug 13072. See section 2 of:
   http://www.bath.ac.uk/%7Epy8ieh/internet/eviltests/lineheight6.html
Erik seems to be currently working on this. (see www-style)

BTW, I'll open separate bugs for each broken issue once I've checked them all.
