Actually, I don't think these apply.  Even without them, you have to
lay out the element's contents when it crosses a soft fragmentation
boundary.  Restricting them wouldn't gain us anything.

The break-* properties still apply, because, for example, a long
column with a clipped element halfway down might break the column and
drastically affect what I can see at the top of the second column.
