Clearly items should not be outside their parent, but is there any 
problem with having the included items *exactly* the same size as the 
parent.
I noticed a few places where scroll arrows were outside the bounding box 
but left them alone. The problem is always one of screen space, as the 
scroll arrows take 10 0r 12 pixels of width on a wide screen.
