[cssom-view] Missing definition of 'scrolling box'

CSSOM-View repeatedly uses the term "scrolling box" but never defines it or
refers to any other specification that might define it (and searching w3.org
hasn't turned up anything that looks like a definition for it)

For example, in the "scroll an element into view" algorithm, the algorithm
loops over "each ancestor element or viewport that establishes a scrolling
box"

What is a "scrolling box"?

What causes an element to "establish a scrolling box"?
