Replaced elements absolutely positionned

Hi,

just below "Position and width", it could be good to mention "replaced elements absolutely positionned", which is quite… wtf.

Here is the text you could add:

Don't use width… except if you are in the case of a replaced element that is absolutely positionned. I this case, there are some weird and difficult to understand rules that apply. Specially in this case, the browser will ignore the right value. It is not a bug, it is a feature of the spec.

Here is a pen that explains it : http://codepen.io/nico3333fr/pen/wBQJWe

Do you want a PR for this ?

See you,
Nicolas
