[csswg-drafts] [css-overflow-3] should -webkit-discard be a valid value for continue? (#6842)

gsnedders has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-overflow-3] should -webkit-discard be a valid value for continue? ==
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-overflow-3/#propdef-continue / https://drafts.csswg.org/css-overflow-3/#valdef-continue--webkit-discard

Per the value grammar for `continue`, `-webkit-discard` is not a valid value, despite it being set as the value of `continue` by the `-webkit-line-clamp` shorthand.

I'm unaware of any other case where a property has a value that can _only_ be set via a shorthand, hence this feels like it's adding an oddity (and quite probably causing extra implementation complexity as a result, for unclear benefit to anyone).

It's also somewhat surprising that a value for `continue` is defined within the "Limiting Visible Lines: the line-clamp shorthand property" section, without "Fragmentation of Overflow: the continue property" even mentioning that value.
