0 is a recognised z-index, but z-indices are hierarchical...
Take this XML tree, for instance:
<root>
<top style="z-index: 2;" id="t1">
<bottom style="z-index: 0;" id="t1b1">
<bottom style="z-index: 3;" id="t1b2">
</top>
<top style="z-index: 1;" id="t2">
<bottom style="z-index: -1;" id="t2b1">
<bottom style="z-index: 4;" id="t2b2">
</top>
</root>
The top elements are z-indiced relative to each other because they have
no enclosing z-index, but the bottom elements are relative to only those
inside the same z-indiced element as themselves.
So, sorting order when it comes to z-indices comes to the following:
t1
>t1b2
>t1b1
t2
>t2b2
>t2b1
NOT the order most people would assume, which is that all play on the
top level:
t2b2
t1b2
t1
t2
t1b1
t2b1
