Right!

Konqueror behaves very close to MS IE in *Quirk* mode.
And Mozilla is a very bad example here, as it accounts only for 0.9% of all 
browsers. It's not a (the) standard, for sure.

If you have time: post similar question on www-style mailing list (what is the 
standard, how it should be rendered, etc.)
People from MS are subscribed to it, as well as key Mozilla developers.
May be, W3C CSS Editor would agree to post some Errata on CSS2 specs...
