OK good.

One thing we could do to help is introduce additional box types
"margin-inside" and "border-inside" to let authors cope with tables (where
there is content between the border-box and the inside of the margins) and
scrolled elements (where there is content between the padding-box and the
inside of the borders). This could be done as a later extension if we find
it's needed.
