Dirk, a couple points:

1) This does not work in Firefox nightly. Full stop. It is confirmed bug, and it has not been fixed. Read the bugzilla.mozilla thread in the original post. Out of curiosity, I've downloaded it and tested it, and it doesn't work. If you're seriously going to argue that it works in Firefox nightly, please post a working demo. 

2) Clipping paths are supposed to be mutable in CSS. So for example:

#clip1 {clip: rect(-10px,-10px,-10px,-10px)}

should expand the clipping path beyond the border edge of the element. Again, as shown in my fiddle in comment 3, this doesn't currently work for SVG. That's *in addition* to {overflow: visible} not working.

3) Sorry, but your reading of the spec is mistaken. Please look again. The passage you quote refers specifically to the meaning of an "auto" value. It is a huge inductive leap for you to say that sentence means that "content is _always_ clipped to the view port" in all cases, always. What you're describing only obtains when overflow is "hidden" and clip is "auto".

This needs to be confirmed as a clear-cut bug, and then fixed.
