Well, overflow: hidden is going to cause your whole body not to function as
intended. You won't get any scrollbars at all then. 

I suppose you could use the semi-standard overflow-x: hidden, but still seems
wrong to me. I think setting overflow-x like that could have all sorts of
unintended consequences with browser width & fluid layouts. E.g. if you have
overflow-x:hidden set, and also have fixed width site, then it'll hide
scrollbars when it should really show them. I'd guess that this is just one
issue that will crop up in a number of situations with containing boxes that we
can't forsee. 


I'll defer to your expertise though, but I do contend that it's a bit counter
intuitive, as shadows and glows etc... are effects added onto an element.
People won't expect it to act in this way.
