[css-regions] region-fragment and content overflow

Hello everybody,

As currently spec'd the `region-fragment` property determines what happens
to the content that does not fit in the last region in the region chain.
My question is what the behaviour should be in the edge(ish) case where
some content does not visually fit in the last region, but it's actually
part of the overflow of the content (see markup below)

<div id="region" style="flow-from: f; width: 100px; height: 100px;"></div>
<div id="content" style="flow-into: f; width: 100px; height: 100px;">
    This text here should be long enough to overflow a div 100 by 100
pixels. If not, there's some more text for good measure; maybe even a
handful of lorem ipsum filler gray text would help.
</div>

I would instinctively think that the text overflowing `#content` should
not be truncated by setting `region-fragment: break` on `#region`. Anyone
has other opinion?

Either way we decide, I think this should be explicitly stated in the spec.

Thanks a lot,
Mihai
