I noticed that Chrome & Firefox did not adjust position: static to absolute for the root element (<html>) in the top layer.

I had to make WebKit match behavior to prevent compatibility issues, given that implementing that adjustment leads to the root collapsing its width to 0.

Looking more closely at the spec, I do see this line is supposed to prevent that:

Unless overridden by another specification, its static position for left, right, and top is zero.

However, no browser implements that.

Also, another thing I noticed was that ::backdrop did not work on the root element in FF & Chrome.

It would be nice to specify this further and make the spec potentially match the reality of implementations.
