Description Eric Seidel (no email) 2005-12-15 02:09:53 PST 
According to the spec:

When an outermost SVG 'svg' element is stand-alone or embedded inline within a parent XML grammar 
which does not use CSS layout [CSS2-LAYOUT] or XSL formatting [XSL], the 'overflow' property on the 
outermost 'svg' element is ignored for the purposes of visual rendering and the initial clipping path is set 
to the bounds of the initial viewport.

We need to ignore overflow when being the "root" object, and do our own clipping to the viewport.  Hyatt 
is just about to fix it so that we do not apply overflow on the root object.

Actually, I have a patch which fixes both sides of this issue which I'll attach here once I can untangle it 
from the rest of the changes in my tree.

I landed the css portion of this patch.  There will still need to be additional code to set the initial clipping 
path to the bounds of the initial SVG viewport.
