kojiishi has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/alreq:

== text-overflow: ellipsis when a word of different direction was truncated ==
Filed w3c/csswg-drafts#2125 but thought it's better to ask here.

When the overflowing word is in different direction from the paragraph direction, which part of the word should be truncated?

For example, if a paragraph in the logical order (uppercase means RTL characters):

> abcdef ABCDEF

which is laid out this way:

> abcdef FEDCBA

and if the last 3 characters overflows, should "FED" be visible, or "CBA"?
