In the definition of 'overflow' in CSS2.1, it says 'overflow' applies to
block containers. (it used to apply to block-level boxes before July
last year[1])

In 9.2.1, it says

[[
Block-level elements are those elements of the source document that are
formatted visually as blocks (e.g., paragraphs). The following values of
the 'display' property make an element block-level: 'block',
'list-item', and 'table'.
...
Except for table boxes, which are described in a later chapter, and
replaced elements, a block-level box is also a block container box.
...
]]

And the table chapter mentions nothing about the term "block container".
I suppose I am missing something but what exactly is that?
