Not according to <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visufx.html#propdef-overflow>. 
Also not according to CSS3 Box 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css3-box-20021024/#overflow0>.

You mean "none"?  See 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#propdef-max-width>.  Or are you reading 
the CSS3 Box Working Draft?  I wonder why that changes the default value.... 
(and removes the existing "none" value).

Why?  What part of the draft leads you to believe that?  That would be pretty 
inconsistent with CSS2.1...

Which documents are you considering official here?
