Re: [csswg-drafts] [cssom-view] offsetTop/Left spec seems to be pretty confused when scrolling is involved (#1832)

When the **`div#parent` is positioned relatively**, then it becomes the offsetParent of the `div#child` (`div#green-child` in my test).

When the **`div#parent` is positioned statically**, then the `<body>` element becomes the offsetParent of the `div#child` (`div#green-child` in my test).

So, the nearest (within containment hierarchy) positioned element acts as the offsetParent for an element. If there is no positioned element within the containment hierarchy, then the <body> element acts as the offsetParent for an element.

I think I understand the given definition... albeit I do not quite understand the purpose of / or need to add
", relative to the initial containing block origin," 
run of text.
