Life is full of trade-offs. This is one where I would always opt for the leaky solution. Ask the people who invented CSS why they built it in a way that is really really hard to understand - even for simple things. PS: I know why. Because they built it without thinking about the users (web devs). Instead they were thinking about all the f-ing edge cases almost no one cares about.
