Comment 1 L. David Baron (Mozilla) 2011-01-14 05:17:28 UTC 
This is a bad idea, since it creates a bunch of extra machinery to make these things scrollable, which is highly undesirable.
Comment 2 Simon Pieters 2011-01-14 08:19:10 UTC 
object-fit doesn't make these elements scrollable. Only overflow:hidden and overflow:visible are supported.

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: If they don't want overflow with 'object-fit:cover' they should set 'overflow' appropriately. Making <object>, <img>, <input>, and <canvas> have overflow:hidden would affect their fallback states in unexpected ways.
