Background propogation bug. Taking this.

Here's one of those background propogation issues we talked about. This is an
example of HTML background not stretching to fill the viewport.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
The problem is I think we're doing exactly what CSS2 says we should do

Per 10.3.3 we compute the HTML element's 'width' based on its containing block
width (the window width). That means the HTML element's box is only as wide as
the window. The content that overflows is 'visible', but the CSS spec says
background is only rendered over the content and padding areas of the box and
that means not in the overflow area.

What we used to do was to make the HTML element's width as wide as its
overflowed content. That meant the background color was displayed all the way
out.

That meant that we failed Ian's tests where he explicitly sets the 'width'
property and then checks that we do in fact use that value and do not extend the
width to include the overflowed content

Maybe there's a section (or should be a section) that distinguishes between an
explicit value for 'width' and 'auto', but I don't currently see such as section
CSS2 14.2 ( http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/colors.html#q2 ) says:

The background of the box generated by the root element covers the entire
canvas.

I think Ian is working on updating some of his tests based on this statement.
