    Hi Don,
     
    Section 10.1 of CSS 2.1 currently contains this text:
     In paged media, an absolutely positioned element is positioned relative to its containing block ignoring any page breaks (as if the document were continuous). The element may subsequently be broken over several pages.
     
    The following will be appended to that text:
    "For absolutely positioned content that resolves to a position on a page other than the page being
    laid out (the current page), or resolves to a position on the current page which has already been
    rendered for printing, printers may place the content on the current page, in another convenient
    location or may omit it."
     
    Regards,
     
    Melinda

    Melinda:

    Within the document you referenced there was a proposal and some alternatives. Could you explicitly state which of these the CSS group agreed to?

            Subject: XP> Absolute positioning definition

    A change to the CSS 2.1 definition of absolute positioning for paged media was agreed to at the CSS Working Group meeting earlier this month.
      
    The proposal at <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2005Mar/0019> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2005Mar/0019 was accepted.
      
    Please let me know ASAP if you have concerns with the revised wording.
      
    Regards,
      
    Melinda
