Now that we have CSS masking, the functionality itself isn't that hard
to implement, yes. But you can't tie it to text-overflow, which is
the intended behavior. If the text fits, you don't want it to start
fading.
Note as well that any explicit masking like this won't be bidi-aware,
and so will be on the wrong side in rtl text.
