[CSS3 Text] Removal of text-overflow

I searched through the www-style archives and found only one notable 
mention[1] of "text-overflow" which was contained in a set of comments on 
the css3-text module working draft. I see that text-overflow (and much else) 
was a part of a previous version of the css3-text working draft[2] but is 
now missing in the current version[3].

Were the reasons for removal ever discussed publicly? If so, I'd appreciate 
a pointer in that direction. If not, I'd like to pose the question here.

Thanks.
