The spec is a good start :-)
see 10.7: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#propdef-min-height

one or two things to note:
* min-height (and max-height) trigger 'haslayout' in IE 7
  http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html#prop
  http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html#reset

* conflicting behaviour with margin-collapsing
  see Bruno's test / demo page:
  http://www.brunildo.org/test/collminmax.html

Neither of these issues have ever prevented me from using this property.

ps - Can someone send me a screenshot of what IE 9 does with Bruno's page ? Tia.
