I guess I should add something to this. The overflow property is one of
those oddities in the spec IMO. If you strictly follow the listing of
applicable properties on each element, the overflow does not apply to
fo:block or fo:table-cell. That contradicts a little with the "Applies
to: block-level and replaced elements" comment coming from CSS. Note
that this comment has been removed in XSL 1.1. The overflow property IS
implemented for block-container, region-*, external-graphic and
instream-foreign-object, i.e. for all viewport areas.

To clip the contents of a table-cell, you currently need to place a
block-container in a table-cell and set its extents to 100% each and
overflow="hidden" there.
