Re: [css-regions] Floats overflow in named flows

In a similar situation (a div with overflowing content), the overflow does
not affect the layout of the page, the following elements go over the
overflow because itıs just *visual* overflow. So, in our case, why should
the *visual* overflow affect the fragmentation of the content?
