So the proposed text would be: "A descendant box is positioned absolutely, partly outside the box. Such boxes are not always clipped by the overflow property on their ancestors; specifically, they are not clipped by the overflow of any ancestor between themselves and their containing block." > Also, in the bullet right before that one, "i.e." should be changed to > "e.g.", or else "max-height" should be mentioned too. That's a different issue. ^_^ ~TJ
