Checked in as WHATWG revision r5507. Check-in comment: copypasta http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=5506&to=5507
I meant exactly what I said ;-) Where you had written "rightmargin" before it should have just said "leftmargin" since there is no "rightmargin"/"bottommargin" attribute in existence. As far as I can tell anyway. "leftmargin" and "topmargin" do apply to both sides (left/right and top/bottom).

http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/654 demonstrates that WebKit and Opera implement it as I suggested. Gecko does not support this at all in standards mode and in quirks mode does indeed seem to support "rightmargin" and "bottommargin". I cannot test IE here. I guess I do not feel strongly enough about this either way, though it will probably take some time before anyone aligns with each other here.
http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/655 in IE8 gives 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px.
