The css3-box draft actually allows one of the values to be 'hidden'
and the other to be 'visible'.  I've never agreed to that (and I've
objected to it at least once), and I don't think it represents WG
consensus, though.

The css-overflow draft doesn't allow that combination.  And the
interaction rules in css-overflow involving the new values are in
"very early draft" stage, and haven't really been reviewed at all.
