This is probably the hardest part for the UA, one of the reasons it 
might not be possible (but I could be mistaken).

"text that doesn't fit" means all the lines of text that don't fit 
completely within the specified 'height' and 'width' of the box, with 
their specified 'font-size', 'line-height' combination.

(I'm not sure if the breaks the current 'overflow' mechanism.)
