RE: [css3-text] Suggestion for text-overflow:shrink

So if this is a text property, what do you think it should apply to? Inline element? Block? Each line of a block, individually?
'text-overflow' is currently defined to apply to blocks. We'll have to define if all lines of the block are affected or last line only (ellipsis leaves that undefined). Also, there are options of shrinking lines separately or adjusting fonts for the whole block. 
Thoughts on what should happen to multiline blocks?

That's how I see it. So far, all the use cases seem to about that.
