I'm pretty sure "extrinsic" isn't the word you're looking for, maybe you meant "explicit"? I think CSS2.1 already covers this: # In the case of a scrollbar being placed on an edge of the # element's box, it should be inserted between the inner # border edge and the outer padding edge. Any space taken up # by the scrollbars should be taken out of (subtracted from # the dimensions of) the containing block formed by the # element with the scrollbars. http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visufx.html#overflow However, it could maybe use some clarification. ~fantasai
