[csswg-drafts] [css-overflow] Questions regarding breaks in ellipsis strings (#11660)

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

== [css-overflow] Questions regarding breaks in ellipsis strings ==
1. Regarding `block-ellipsis`, the current spec says "The UA must treat the [block overflow ellipsis](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-overflow-4/#block-overflow-ellipsis) as an unbreakable string" [1]. Is it referring to line breaking only, or also bidi re-ordering and fragmentation? I don't see anything wrong with allowing bidi reordering in the ellipsis string.

2. Regarding `text-overflow`, the current spec text doesn't mention anything about breaks. Should we add the same requirement as `block-ellipsis`, namely, no linebreaking is allowed? Currently, only Firefox supports custom ellipsis strings, and FF ignores forced breaks there.
