Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-contain-2] Spec is unclear about whether 0-sized boxes can be "relevant to the user" (since they have zero intersection area) (#5641)

I think a reasonably intuitive knot-cutting here would be:

* if the intersection has non-zero area, the element is on-screen
* if the intersection has zero area, but the element's bounds are in the (exclusive) range of the viewport's bounds, it's on-screen

This answers your questions with no, yes, yes, yes.  

The intuition here is that for nonzero-area boxes, we just use the standard "intersection area is nonzero" logic, answering (1). For zero-area boxes, they're on-screen *if* we could shift one of the edges by epsilon and give it a nonzero intersection area, answering (2) and (4).  (With the special case of both being 0x0 and coincident, which falls under the general consistency that a 0x0 box at (0,0) is always on-screen, answering (3).)
