Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-overflow] Is the box a scroll container if only one of 'overflow-x' or 'overflow-y' is 'clip'?

FWIW, I think the intent of `-moz-hidden-unscrollable` was that it *not* create a BFC, and in general not have any *layout* differences from `visible`, only *visual* (painting) differences.  (In other words, it was trying to do what CSS 2.0 described `hidden` as being, and I think was the implementation remaining after agreeing to standardize the spec-incompatible behavior of the other browser engines.)  I can also see the value in a value that does create a BFC but doesn't allow programmatic scrolling (at least in its dimension, but could allow scrolling in the other dimension).

Might we want both of these values eventually?  If so, do we really want to use the `clip` name for the latter one rather than the former?
