Yes, this is actually a major undertaking that Florian (added in the To line) is trying to tackle. It isn't just about adding an ellipse or being able to control what content is visible but also the event model and how to fragment this properly. I do believe that the overflow and the fragment specs are the best ones to pay attention to regarding these changes, is that correct Florian?
