i generally love css, but if i had to specify my least favorite implication

i really don't like that child margins affect the bounding box of the parent node

just doing a simple width: 100%; height: 100%; position: relative; thing to put something position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0;

that's css for "make a thing take up the full screen with something in the top right corner"

then by putting a heading, h1, with default margins, it then drops the thing in the top right down by the margin.

i get it, but i also don't get it. there really isn't a thing to get other than, that's just how margins work.

everything stays aligned to the margins, so the solution is to just not use margins, since i want a flush layout.
