Jeremias,
I am wrong here. This phrase in 5.3.2:
"If the corresponding absolute "margin" property is
specified on the formatting object..."
Clearly means that margin *is* a CP, and hence is a CP
with start-indent/end-indent as appropriate. Forget
that argument--never mind, and I'm sorry that you had
to waste time explaining this to me.
I may have more questions on your logic though, as I'm
studying your original response to Luca. But
thankfully we're in agreement on this point.
Thanks,
Glen
