Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-overflow] Is continue: discard working in the fragment tree useful? (#7708)

So in summary the rules appear to be:

* there is a "cut point" after a certain number of lines or whatever
* everything in-flow after the cut point, or floated after the cut point, has its paint suppressed, and doesn't contribute its geometry to sizing or overflow of the `continue` element. (but it still *has* geometry, observable from JS, as if it were `visibility:hidden`). 
* abspos and other out-of-flows still draw as normal, as long as their abspos containing block isn't suppressed after the cut point. They use the actual sizing of the various containers (this isn't overflow) to resolve their insets.
* containers closed before the cut point draw as normal. Containers who are unclosed at the cut point still draw their block-end padding and border, but do not draw their block-end margin.
