Well, obviously this is one of those places where the implementation
is the spec.  :-)

Arn't there cases where the overflow field want to be bigger then the first field? Something the ends up looking like:

LABEL: texttexttextexttexttext
texttextexttextetexttexttextte
xttexttexttexttexttexttextttex

where LABEL is in one field and text... is in an oveflow block?
