According to CSS2.1 (11.1.1):
overflow: hidden
This value indicates that the content is clipped and that no scrolling user
interface should be provided to view the content outside the clipping region.

With the following markup, users can see "this content appears below window" by
dragging the entire document downwards from left upper corner.  While WebKit's
behavior confirms with that of Internet Explorer 8, it differs from that of
Firefox, which does not allow users to see the text.
<html>
<style type="text/css">

body {overflow: hidden;}

#c_overflow { position: relative; margin: 100% 0px 200px 0px; }

#c_fixed { position: fixed; top: 100px; left: 100px; }

</style>
<body>
<div id="c_fixed">this content appears at (100,100)</div>
<div id="c_overflow">this content appears below window</div>
</body>
</html>
