Very late to this. It's not clear to me what should happen here. My
intuition is that we'd want to disallow this. The things contain:strict is
trying to achieve are style recalculation and layout isolation. So, in this
case, laying out the contents of the contain:strict element would require
first laying out the #shape element. It could be made to work, but I'm not
sure we'd want to.
