I may be reading the CSS2 spec incorrectly, but shouldn't an absolute div have
top, bottom, left, and right relative to its containing block, not the view port
(or whatever it's called)?  I've been noticing this behavior for a while and in
more recent builds.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. make block in body
2. set position: absolute
3. set bottom: 0

Actual Results:  bottom of absolute positioned block is the bottom of the screen

Expected Results:  bottom of absolute positioned block should be shared with
bottom of body
You mean <html> not <body> right?  :)

Duplicate of "absolutely positioned 100% height div has height of viewport, not
root element?"  (same exact problem there).
