>> I think I would call this 'font-size: auto', where 'auto' meant that largest size possible without breaking (except where explicitly broken by, say, a <BR> or by 'white-space: pre') and without overflowing. Most of the time this would be a horizontal constraint, but a fixed height could also constrain it. It would also mean there was no difference between 'whte-space:normal' and 'white-space:nowrap', and 'text-overflow' would never kick in.
