[csswg-drafts] [css-conditional-5] scroll-state(overflowing) is confusing because it ignores clipped overflowing content (#11182)

fantasai has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-conditional-5] scroll-state(overflowing) is confusing because it ignores clipped overflowing content ==
The `overflowing` scroll state query, whose values are `none | top | right | bottom | left | block-start | inline-start | block-end | inline-end `, is described as

> The overflowing container feature queries whether a scroll container has clipped scrollable overflow rectangle content in the given direction which is reachable through user initiated scrolling. That is, overflowing does not match for a hidden container, nor for a negative scrollable overflow region.

But colloquially, content that overflows and is clipped is still considered overflowing.

If the question is, "can I scroll in this direction", perhaps a better name would be `scrollable`?
