517- Unlike the scrollable 'overflow' values,
518- which have various additional effects on an element
519- to make it a scroll container,
520- ''overflow: clip'' solely has the effect
521- of preventing an element from painting outside its bounds.
522- The 'overflow-clip-margin' property
523- determines precisely <em> how far</em> outside its bounds
524- the element is allowed to paint
525- before being clipped.
