Alan points out that it's probably valuable to know the full range of
values we expect to have for this.

There's the obvious starting values - "none" and something like
"normal" or "auto".

Then, we'll add "contents", a la the current Display draft, which
suppresses the display of the box but still displays the contents, as
if they were "hoisted" up a level in the tree.

We'll probably also want a value that suppresses the box but keeps
animations/counters/etc going.  For this value, maybe "hide"?
