Width only applies to block elements, so it should be ignored on inline elements.

The other test looks right to me too.  Why are you expecting a block element to
not line-break?

Bug appears invalid....

Internet Explorer 6 itself renders the page very similar to Mozilla when you
change the doctype to strict HTML4 and force it into standards compliant mode.

I expect that a block element do a line-break with other elements at the same 
level, but i'm not expecting a line-break to his parent element.

e.g.: a div nested in a other div don't make a line break within its parent 
div - why should this be different if the parent element is inline?

Actually, it does.  Try it.

This bug is invalid -- our rendering is correct per CSS2.1.
