[csswg-drafts] [css-overflow-4] Clamping floats in 1d or 2d (#13668)

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

== [css-overflow-4] Clamping floats in 1d or 2d ==
This is a follow up to https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12665, where we resolved that:
> RESOLVED: Floats do not increase the height of a line clamp container. They are clipped to its content edge.

I do not think we discussed whether this clipping to the content edge would be effective in the block direction only, or in both axises. Since we didn't state any restriction, it seems to imply that is true in both axes. However, this kind of goes against the logic discussed in [Example 6](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-overflow-4/#ex-continue-overflow): `continue` (and its `line-clamp` shorthand) do not generally affect overflow in the inline direction.

So, should `continue: collapse` cause floats be clipped in both directions, or only in the block direction?
