Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-overflow] overflow: Consider support for overlay scrollbars

I don't understand why this needs to cascade separately.  This isn't 
an independent piece of behavior - it's modifying the behavior of 
*one* value in 'overflow'. Effectively these are just two new 
'overflow' values; the argument against actually doing that is that 
'overflow' is already overloaded in handling multiple overflow-related
 things, and adding more values here would just increase the 
confusion.

In other words, there's no reason for the user to set "overflow: auto"
 if they really want the stable/always behavior. It doesn't offer them
 anything additional; it doesn't make their life easier for some other
 reason.  They should just be setting the "stable" or "always" value 
directly on those elements, and only use "auto" if they actually want 
"auto" behavior.
