list-style-position-002
Marker box position - descendant block box with 'overflow'
The position of a descendant block box inside a principal box must not be affected by 'overflow' being applied to the descendant, when marker box is positioned outside the principal box
list-style-position-003

'overflow' applied to the list-item must not clip the marker box
list-style-position-005
Marker box position (inside principal box) - block box in normal flow (as child of principal box)
Since a marker box is the first inline element in the principal box when 'list-style-position:inside', the following block box (in normal flow) must create a new stacking context below the marker box
list-style-position-006
Marker box position (inside principal box) - block box with 'float:left' (as child of principal box)
Since a marker box is the first inline element in the principal box when 'list-style-position:inside', the following block box (floated to the left) must visually appear before the marker box in the rendered document
list-style-position-007
Marker box position (inside principal box) - block box with 'float:right' (as child of principal box)
list-style-position-008
Marker box position (outside principal box) - floated-left child
A floated element (as a child of the principal box) should not affect the horizontal position of the marker box (positioned outside principal box) in relation to the principal box's content

A floated element (as a child of the principal box) should not affect the horizontal position of the marker box (positioned outside principal box) in relation to the principal box's content
list-style-position-010
Marker box position (outside principal box) - :before pseudo-element list-item ('list-style-position:inside')
When the :before element is set as a list-item, it establishes a principal box into which a marker box is placed (when 'list-style-position:inside). The document tree content of the associated element must be placed after the principal box established by the :before pseudo element. The presence of the :before pseudo element in this context, must have no affect on the position of the marker box of the associated element as it must still appear to the outside left edge of it's own principal box (since 'list-style-position:outside').
list-style-position-011
Marker box position (inside principal box) - :before pseudo-element list-item ('list-style-position:outside')
When the :before element is set as a list-item, it establishes a principal box and a marker box which is positioned outside of that principal box (since 'list-style-position:outside). The document tree content of the associated element must be placed after the principal box established by the :before pseudo element. Since the marker box of the associated element must be the first inline element within it's principal box (since 'list-style-position:inside'), that marker box must appear before the marker box and principal box of the :before pseudo-element.
list-style-position-012
Marker box position (inside principal box) - :before pseudo-element list-item ('list-style-position:inside')
When the :before element is set as a list-item, it establishes a principal box into which a marker box is placed (when 'list-style-position:inside). The document tree content of the associated element must be placed after the principal box established by the :before pseudo element. Since the marker box of the associated element must be the first inline element within it's principal box (since 'list-style-position:inside'), that marker box must appear before the marker box and principal box of the :before pseudo-element.
list-style-position-013
Marker box position (outside principal box) - :before pseudo-element list-item ('list-style-position:outside')
When the :before element is set as a list-item, it establishes a principal box and a marker box which is positioned outside of that principal box (since 'list-style-position:outside). The document tree content of the associated element must be placed after the principal box established by the :before pseudo element. The position of the marker box of the associated element must still appear to the outside left edge of it's principal box (since 'list-style-position:outside') and should be positioned towards the top of this principal box. Since the marker box of the :before pseudo element should be positioned at the same coordinate as the associated element's marker box, either bullet could appear in front of the other (since stacking levels of marker boxes aren't defined in CSS2.1, in this context).
list-style-position-014
Marker box position (outside principal box) - floated :before pseudo-element list-item ('list-style-position:inside')
When the :before element is set as a list-item, it establishes a principal box into which a marker box is placed (when 'list-style-position:inside). Since this :before pseudo element is floated left, the document tree content of the associated element must appear alongside (after) this :before pseudo element. The position of the marker box of the associated element must not be affected, as it must still appear to the outside left edge of it's principal box (since 'list-style-position:outside').
list-style-position-015
Marker box position (inside principal box) - floated :before pseudo-element list-item ('list-style-position:outside')
When the :before element is set as a list-item, it establishes a principal box and a marker box which is positioned outside of that principal box (since 'list-style-position:outside). Since this :before pseudo element is floated left, the principal box (and marker box, since 'list-style-position:inside') of the associated element must appear alongside (after) this :before pseudo element. The position of the marker box of the :before pseudo element must still appear to the outside left edge of it's associated element's principal box (since 'list-style-position:outside').
list-style-position-016
Marker box position (inside principal box) - floated :before pseudo-element list-item ('list-style-position:inside')
When the :before element is set as a list-item, it establishes a principal box into which a marker box is placed (when 'list-style-position:inside). Since the :before pseudo element is floated left, the principal box (and marker box, since 'list-style-position:inside') of the associated element must appear alongside (after) the :before pseudo element.
list-style-position-017
Marker box position (outside principal box) - floated :before pseudo-element list-item ('list-style-position:outside')
When the :before element is set as a list-item, it establishes a principal box into which a marker box is placed (when 'list-style-position:inside). Since the :before pseudo element is floated left, The document tree content of the associated element must appear alongside (after) the :before pseudo element. Since the marker box of the :before pseudo element should be positioned at the same coordinate as the associated element's marker box, either bullet could appear in front of the other (since stacking levels of marker boxes aren't defined in CSS2.1, in this context).
