/**
 * This class contains the logic for being an absolute containing block.  This
 * class is used within viewport frames (for frames representing content with
 * fixed position) and blocks (for frames representing absolutely positioned
 * content), since each set of frames is absolutely positioned with respect to
 * its parent.
 *
 * There is no principal child list, just a named child list which contains
 * the absolutely positioned frames (kAbsoluteList or kFixedList).
 *
 * All functions include as the first argument the frame that is delegating
 * the request.
