Suppose we have something like <div style="position:relative; height:10010px;"> ... <div style="position:absolute; bottom:0; font-size:20px; background:puce;">Hello</div> </div> in a paginated context where the page height is 10000px (ignoring margins etc). What should the rendering be? The "best" rendering seems to me to put Hello at the bottom of the first page and extend the DIV to be 30px high. But implementing that seems really hard in general. Any thoughts? The general problem is that in the presence of vertical breaks, an element's intrinsic height depends on its vertical top coordinate, but with CSS absolute positioning and 'bottom', the element's vertical top coordinate can depend on its intrinsic height.
