Once again I try a "useful new #CSS thing" and find the half-arsed half-implemented status stops it being useful _at all_.

If I want to use overflow-clip, you can be sure it's because I want to have something overflow in one direction.

Which means I need overflow-clip-margin to take parameters for top, right, bottom, left.

Which of course it doesn't.

So, no, we can't just do a nice "poke this out of the top of the box only" solution because CSS only knows "the axis".

Well fuck.
