I see, it makes more sense now. The formulas account for scrollbars, so that when width or height are not specified they accommodate the scrollbar. Right?

We'll put together a few test cases to figure out the right definitions for cases with specified width/height.

... I remember distinctly that the discussion centered around making
the spec match implementation. It was trying to address a different issue,
specifically how scrollbars affect percentage calculations on children,
but wound up causing the problem we're seeing now.
