You mean adding a devtools warning if the propagated values would have been
different without containment?

I think the background and overflow scrollbar propagation would have pretty
obvious effects. If the body direction/writing-mode is orthogonal to the
root html direction/writing-mode, such effects would be more subtle and
harder to spot. We have changed how body/html/viewport propagation for
orthogonal writing-modes have been done before without any such
signals/warnings (not sure if we even have done intent-to-ship for that).

Thanks! Positive response from dholbert.
