background-attachment: fixed; /* fixed wrt viewport, which has the effect of being
fixed wrt the border when the parent scrollbox
isn't being scrolled -- which covers frames behavior*/
background-attachment: attached; /* hypothetical CSS3 property: fixed wrt border */

Run into the same problems with padding vs. margin, etc.
Except worse because there's CSS3 support issues. If there's
no support for ::outside, I get the padding and the background,
but the border and the margins get lost under the unrecognized
selector.
