<title>CSS Test: Absolutely positioned non-replaced elements when both 'margin-left' and 'margin-right' are set to 'auto' and direction is right-to-left</title>

{

width: 200px;

{
background: red;
color: blue;
font: 100px/1em Ahem;

margin-right: auto;

/*
left : 100px
+ margin-left : solve (auto)
+ border-left-width : 0
+ padding-left : 0
+ width : 100px
+ padding-right : 0
+ border-right-width : 0
+ margin-right : solve (auto)
+ right : 100px
====================================
width of containing block : 200px
So, margin-left and margin-right would be each -50px at this point.
"...unless this would make them (the two margins) negative
in which case when direction of the containing block is
'ltr' ('rtl'), set 'margin-left' ('margin-right') to zero and
solve for 'margin-right' ('margin-left')."
So, under such extra constraint, 'margin-right' must become 0
and 'margin-left' must become -100px.
