Re: [css-overflow-clipping] would 'overflow: clip' affect the layout of surrounding elements?

I don't know if we can successfully extend 'clip' to non-abspos elements
and you are right that 'mask' doesn't establish a BFC.

What I am asking is to make 'overflow: clip' (not this 'isolate'
feature) a shorthand of 'mask: image(white)'. No new functionality, but
I have doubts that the latter would take off. Also, with this, the
fallback is easier:

  overflow: hidden;
  overflow: clip;

I don't mean to conflate these two features, but I think this is worth
sorting out.
