Re: [css3-exclusions] how to handle exclusion shape-inside overflow

Bear,

I agree with your choices. Your answer to the second question follows what
Vincent added to issue 16460 (Specify overflow behavior for shape-inside)
[1]. And fitting the last line to the shape contours makes sense. I'll add
a paragraph in section 4.4.2 with a description of overflow with
shape-inside and add two example diagrams. The first diagram will be
similar to your option 3 with a rounded rect shape, and the second will be
similar to Hans's circle showing that the last line has no width, but with
a slight change that the remaining overflow fits just below the trailing
edge of the circle.

Thanks,

Alan
