CSS Overflow 3 Trimmed and Updated

The CSS Working Group has published an updated Working Draft of CSS Overflow Level 3. This module contains the features of CSS relating to scrollable overflow handling in visual media. Major changes since the previous draft include

• Trimming out all features other than the overflow/overflow-x/overflow-y properties themselves. (Features like overflow: paged and fragmented overflow are still considered important and useful, but will be pursued in Level 4.)
• Filling out more details on how overflow is calculated.
• Better cross-linking.

We are especially looking for close review of the scrollable overflow definition, particularly

• Whether the description of the interaction with transforms is accurate.
• Considerations and compat data wrt honoring or ignoring clip and/or clip-path.
• Considerations wrt including padding and margin spacing in the scrollable overflow region.

Please send feedback by either filing an issue in GitHub (preferable) or sending mail to the (archived) public mailing list www-style@w3.org with the spec code ([css-overflow-3]) and your comment topic in the subject line. (Alternatively, you can email one of the editors and ask them to forward your comment.)
