IIRC CSS says that absolute frames are positioned relative to the page.

They're positioned relative to the containing block. If the "initial containing block" is to be used, then the CSS2.1 spec doesn't really define what that is (it's sorta maybe viewport when there is one, and it'd make sense to make it the page sequence otherwise). Otherwise, the positioning should happen relative to the nearest positioned ancestor.


We could continue to do that but allow an absolute frame that overflows vertically to continue at the top of the next page.

Right. That's what we want, imo.
