I would also agree that a measurement based on lines or line-height could be useful. Then my example would be written like this:

> šDIV {
> š šheight: 3ln;
> š šoverflow: clip;
> š štext-overflow: ellipsis multi;

I doubt this is really a problem. Visual similarity of latin letters is not of CSS responsibility at all.
Even if it was, how many times you've seen using CSS units in uppercase instead of lowecase? I personally can't remember I've seen that at least once over last 10 years.
