I had the same thought initially but then decided it was a bad idea. Remember that individual lines could have overflow and it's perfectly reasonable to want to clip that overflow. In other words how content is paginated can lead to there being overflow out of the top and bottom of a slot and overflow:hidden should certainly work to clip that content if desired. dave (hyatt@apple.com)
