Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: It would make no sense to allow 'display' as the cues have their own
custom display logic. Similarly position/top/left/bottom/right/height/width
make no sense as the cues themselves give their dimensions and position.
'overflow' makes no sense since 'auto' and 'scroll' would be meaningless and
'visible' would defeat the whole point of some of the positioning logic. I
don't see the use case for 'clip'. 'cursor' seems pointless since they're not
interactive. 'z-index' might maybe make sense, but why would you intentionally
overlay cues and then layer them out of order?
