That's not the whole story, sadly.

The reason for the overflow-clip-box on input is that overflow to left 
and right needs to not run into the border, as I recall.  What IE does 
is that overflow in the top/bottom direction is not treated the same as 
overflow in the left/right direction.  Again, as I recall; it's been a 
while since I last looked at this.
