384
- This specification should define useful behavior
385
- for all values of 'overflow'
386
- in static media (such as print).
387
- Current implementation behavior is quite poor and
388
- produces unexpected results when authors have not considered

- what will happen when
390
- the content they produce for interactive media
391

385
+ Since scrolling is not possible in static media
386
+ (such as print)
387
+ authors should be careful to make content accessible in such media,
388
+ for example by using ''@media print, (update: none) { … }''
389
+ to adjust layout such that all relevant content
390
+ is simultaneously visible.
