Anything else we need to know

This issue has relevant context for the motivation to introduce this functionality for replaced elements. The first resolution was to introduce a new property (object-overflow) but we pivoted to use the existing overflow property based on feedback here.

Hello WebKit!

This is a follow up to previous RFP which introduced the object-overflow property to allow replaced elements to paint with ink overflow. Based on feedback in the CSSWG, the proposal has been updated to use the existing overflow property to provide the same functionality.

The issue capturing the discussion is here. We'd appreciate your feedback on the updated proposal.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure this is fine; I'll close this as position: support in a week unless anybody objects.
