Clipping to viewport should exclude clipped regions from total size

The following spec shows unclipped viewport content overflowing the viewport and expanding the bounds of the overall canvas:

{
  "mark": {
    "type": "text",
    "fontSize" : 100
  },
  "width" : 200,
  "height" : 200,
  "config" : {
    "background": "lightgreen",
    "view" : {
      "clip" : false,
      "fill": "lightblue"
    }
  },
  "data" : {
    "values" : [["ABCDE"]]
  },
  "encoding" : {
    "text" : {
      "field" : "0"
    }
  }
}

However, when you set clip to “true”, the overall rendered dimensions remain the same, just the overflow contents are hidden:

What one would expect to happen is that the region that is clipped out of the viewport would no longer contribute to the overall size calculation of the canvas, like this:

Sounds good to me. Just clarifying above to make sure everyone’s on the same page!

Just to clarify whether there is an action item for Vega-Lite here. The view-level clipping in the example is manually set in the Vega-Lite spec. Vega-Lite generates correct clipping of only marks for example in our overview+detail example. As I understand it, Vega-Lite doesn’t need to change.
