Hi! The spec is not very clear about what happens when content overflows outside the region chain of the containing block. There are some things that need to be better specified such as: - the overflow should be rendered inside the previous/next region in the chain or outside the region that's being overflown? I'm in favour of the first option. - the width computation - should the overflow get the width from the overflow region or the initial layout position? I think it should not use the overflow region. - the used style in the context of region styling - should the style used be the one in the region where the overflown content is actually painted or from the region where the content was laid out? There may be a debate about grouping the paint properties to change the aspect of the overflow but the layout to not change when overflowing. I think the paint properties of the region where the content is overflowing make sense to change the aspect of the content (e.g. Text colour, background colour). Thanks, Andrei.
