Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-display-3] text run ? (#7768)

Returning to the topic, I'd like to clarify the following piece of the current definition:

> Similarly, each contiguous sequence of sibling [text nodes](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display/#text-nodes) generates a [text sequence](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display/#css-text-sequence) containing their text contents, _which is assigned the same styles as the generating text nodes._

The part I emphasized seems a bit ambiguous to me: does it already imply that a single text sequence can contain parts of text with multiple different stylings (e.g. in case of `display:contents`) or not? If yes, the change above appears correct, but a separate term for each same-style sub-sequence would probably be needed. IIRC, the original "text run" term referred to the same-style sequences, and the "sequence of sequences" wording intended to highlight it.
