Actually, as the default for overflow is visible, the whole included document would be visible (if we want to be consistent about the actual definition of overflow). Maybe "visible" for overflow could be defined as meaning "auto" with replaced(). Then you can choose to set overflow to "scroll" if you always want to have scrollbars, or use "hidden" if you really want the included content to be cut.
