2.1.54 [CSS-Level2-2009] Section 11.1.1, Overflow: the 'overflow' property

V0098:

The specification states:

Overflow

Value:                 visible | hidden | scroll | auto | inherit
Initial:               visible
Applies to:            block containers
Inherited:             no
Percentages:           N/A
Media:                 visual
Computed value:        as specified

Quirks Mode and IE7 Mode (All Versions)

The inherit value of the overflow property is not supported.

All Document Modes (All Versions)

The scroll value of the overflow property is not supported on tbody elements.

V0099:

The specification states:

When the root element is an HTML "HTML" element or an XHTML "html" element, and 
that element has an HTML "BODY" element or an XHTML "body" element as a child, user 
agents must instead apply the 'overflow' property from the first such child element 
to the viewport, if the value on the root element is 'visible'. The 'visible' value 
when used for the viewport must be interpreted as 'auto'. The element from which 
the value is propagated must have a used value for 'overflow' of 'visible'.

Quirks Mode and IE7 Mode (All Versions)

The overflow property is not propagated from the first child element to the viewport.
