Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-overflow] Is continue: discard working in the fragment tree useful? (#7708)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `[css-overflow] Is continue: discard working in the fragment tree useful?`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: change the line-clamp default to continue:collapse, split out further questions into separate issues`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: avoiding the big discussion without ian, but a small topic<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: right now spec is defined in terms of continue:discard, and there's a sketch of continue:collapse<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: we could invert that, and say line-clamp shorthand triggers the collapse behavior<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: it seems clear to me at this point that the thing we're shipping in the short term is collapse-based, not discard-based<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: the broader spec should still talk about discard because i think it's good, but if you don't ask (because the shorthand doesn't le tyou specify currently), you shoudl get collapse<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: anything further we should wait for Ian<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> andreubotella: i added this back in October, not sure what I wanted to get out of it. but i'm fine with that<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> andreubotella: there are a number of points for continue:collapse/discard that it would be good to touch on to make sure everyone agrees, but can happen later<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> andreubotella: like the issue we touched on earlier about bottom MBP<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> andreubotella: but we can resolve for now that line-clamp does continue:collapse<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> andreubotella: later i expect to have the patch and PR up ready to merge<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: i continue to think that continue:discard is a better model, but i accept that continue:collapse is sufficiently useful (and sufficinetly simple) that it's going to ship. no use pretending we're going to do what we're not going to do<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: think there's a lot of discussion in this big issue, but they should be split out. so let's just agree that the default is "collapse" for now<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: so proposal is to rework the spec so line-clamp defaults to collapse behavior, and open separate issues on everything else<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian:<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: yes<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> andreubotella: yes<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: objections?<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> RESOLVED: change the line-clamp default to continue:collapse, split out further questions into separate issues<br>
