Chris, we're are at cross purposes. Robert and I suggested that we define that the *background fill* be defined to fill the 'unsafe' area, but that the rest of CSS and so on (foreground content) be defined to be working only in the safe area. So you would *not* get a black border under these circumstances. Joćo seems to be saying that that is not enough, he wants general content in the unsafe area, and I wanted to confirm that, and ask 'what and why?'.

It does not mean 'guaranteed to have illegible text' or 'invisible'. David Singer Multimedia and Software Standards, Apple Inc.
