Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-overflow] Line-clamp and approaches to ellipsis insertion (#10844)

I believe the current spec text addresses what was resolved here, and also covers the details that @andreubotella was asking about in terms of embeding levels. Specifically:

> he [block overflow ellipsis](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-overflow-4/#block-overflow-ellipsis) string is wrapped in an anonymous inline and placed at the end of the line box as a direct child of the [block container](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display-4/#block-container)’s [root inline box](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-inline-3/#root-inline-box) […]

and 

> This inline is assigned [unicode-bidi: plaintext](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-writing-modes-3/#propdef-unicode-bidi)

Based on this, depending on the directionality block and of the ellipsis, it will end up with the same embedding level as the block, or the same +1, and no more (since it is a direct child of the block container).

Closing this issue as addressed, since the core of the question is covered. If there are finer points to be covered or reevaluated, please open new issues with a more specific scope.
