::first-line and ::first-letter inconsistencies
Recently I've been playing around a little with drop-caps and the like for typographic effect and I found some inconsistencies across browsers (nothing surprising there), but also within Opera itself. Here's a testcase demonstrating my findings: http://fransdejonge.com/test/2011/first-line-letter-inconsistencies.htmlHere are the links to the relevant specs.

As far as I can tell they say Webkit is applying these properties correctly, which is the intuitive method in any case. Here's a relevant quote:
The first formatted line of an element may occur inside a block-level descendant in the same flow (i.e., a block-level descendant that is not out-of-flow due to floating or positioning). For example, the first line of the
DIVinis the first line of theThis line...
P(assuming that bothPandDIVare block-level).
Any thoughts before I report this as a bug?
