411424 Note: In other words, |positioned el| can anchor to |possible anchor|
412425 if they're both in the same skipped "leaf",
413426 but it can't anchor "across" leafs.
427+ This means skipping an element that contains both of them
428+ won't suddenly cause the |positioned el| to move to another anchor,
429+ but still prevents positioned elements <em> elsewhere</em> in the page
430+ from anchoring to the skipped element.
