When overflow is 'auto' or 'scroll', the top and bottom margins of content
is forgotten. For example, in:

   <div style="background: green; overflow: auto; border: 1px solid; ">
      <div style="margin: 100px 0; border: 1px solid;">
      </div>
   </div>

...there will be no green visible. There should be two 100px high regions of
green in a black box, separated by a thin black line. Changing overflow to
'visible' in the outer DIV shows the desired result.

The problem is that vertical margins are being collapsed. It's hard to explain,
but it's because of the way scroll frame's work. I think the problem is that the
area frame needs the bit set that says it's a margin root (NS_BLOCK_MARGIN_ROOT)

Using 9/28 Apprunner with the text case provided, verified bug fixed regarding
top and bottom margin issue. Don't know whether the issue regarding the scroll
bars compromising the colored boxes is a bug but the margin issue is resolved.

Migrating from {css2} to css2 keyword. The {css1}, {css2}, {css3} and {css-moz}
radars should now be considered deprecated in favour of keywords.
