At https://developer.mozilla.org/En/CSS/Box-sizing it says: "It is possible to use this property to emulate the behavior of browsers that do not correctly support the CSS box model specification." This is quite a pejorative statement and it should be corrected. Actually, inventing content-width as the determinate value for the width property was a bad change in mind of the W3C. In fact, it was the border-box layout that determined the calculation of the width property right from the beginning in CSS1. CSS3 now just corrects a CSS2 design flaw. Many designers will welcome the return of the border-box layout. Now finally it is possible again to assign both, a padding, a border AND a width of 100% to correctly display full width backgrounds without a need to perform try & error kind of width calculations.
