This isn't a well-formed sentence. Also, this isn't quite accurate; when
tables break vertically you may want to return additional rects, e.g. table,
caption, table, table. (Although since we don't currently break tables
across CSS3 column boundaries, it's not possible for Web authors to observe
this in FF3. Hopefully it will be possible in a future release.)

This seems to be the opposite of what I wanted. I probably wasn't clear
enough. In the example I gave the anonymous block box is actually as wide as
the containing block. Instead of returning that, getClientRects must return
the real block box contained in the anonymous block box. (Note there may
actually be multiple levels of anonyous block boxes the algorithm has to
unwrap.)

Other than that the changes look great. Thanks!!
