If you look at http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#fo_table-cell, you'll see
that "overflow" is not in the list of applicable properties. That's
because table-cell only generates a reference area but no viewport area.

If you want to make sure that cell content is clipped you need to put it
in a block-container where you can specify the overflow property. That's
going to be more light-weight and faster than the SVG work-around.
