Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-overflow] Invisible line boxes and `line-clamp` (#11021)

The spec for invisible line boxes says:

> Such boxes must be treated as zero-height line boxes for the purposes of determining the positions of any descendant content (such as absolutely positioned boxes), and **both the line box and its in-flow content must be treated as not existing for any other layout or rendering purpose.**

We don't want to mention invisible line boxes everywhere we mention line boxes. That would make the spec unreadable. They are effectively `display: none` except as mentioned in this specific paragraph: they do not exist for any other purpose. You cannot count them. You cannot measure them. You cannot introspect their content. They just don't exist.
