Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-positioning] position: popover proposal (#5699)

> One issue with that is that now `overflow: hidden` is no guarantee of no overflow anymore. We could also introduce a new `strict` modifier value for `overflow` that means "hide everything, even popups", (used like: `overflow: hidden strict`).

One way to resolve this without introducing new keywords is to have popups respect things like `contain: paint` or `overflow: clip` or similar. It would add ambiguity since some properties would 'leak' popups and others would clip them, but I don't think that's worse that having something like `overflow: hidden strict`
