Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-overflow-4] Syntax to opt into clamping at the earlier of a size and a number of line (#13670)

Overall, this syntax largely makes sense to me and is relatively clear about what will happen, up to a point.  I still have problems with the way this overrides `(max-)height`.; `line-clamp` says that it _clamps_, as in limits, not that it _enforces_.

So I guess I mean that this syntax seems relatively clear about what will happen **as long as** `height` is `auto`.  In non-`auto` cases, it’s completely unclear about how other properties (`height`, `max-height`, I assume also `(max-)block-size`?) will be outright ignored.
