I got a question about this bit of text in 11.1 <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visufx.html>: # In certain cases, a box may overflow, meaning its content lies # partly or entirely outside of the box, e.g.: # ... # A descendent box is positioned absolutely, partly outside the box. # Such boxes are not always clipped by the overflow property on # their ancestors. Can't figure out what that "Such boxes are not always clipped" sentence is talking about. An implementor was wondering if it meant abspos descendents are /not/ supposed to be clipped by "overflow: hidden". I'm quite sure that's not the case, so, perhaps we could either clarify what is meant or remove the sentence. ~fantasai
