Agreed, overflow is irrelevant.

I think min- and max- values may cause confusion. Does min refer to the
minimum size child element or the minimum size based on intrinsic
elements? It is the latter of course but I believe just "intrinsic" would
be sufficient as a value name.

The value could well be used by all those properties, but I believe
min-width would be sufficient for liquid layouts like W3 page and width
would be sufficient for cases where the element is inside an overflowed
element (like  in the example page I sent earlier)
