Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-gcpm-3] string(nnn, start) definition needs clarification (#4634)

The question of what to do if the "first element on the page" is absolutely positioned is still open. Defining "first" in this context is a little tricky. Similar question for floats, although it's less tricky.

It might be best to limit the `string-set` property to not apply to absolutely positioned content -  I'd suggest using the same rules as [break-before](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-break-3/#break-between):

> User agents should also apply these properties to floated boxes whose containing block is in the normal flow of the root fragmented element. User agents may also apply these properties to other boxes. User agents must not apply these properties to absolutely-positioned boxes.
