Yup. I think that's the real power of the proposal: it leverages the general developer knowledge base, and simplifies the Open Web Platform in general. > I also like the simplicity of the overflow property suggested here > http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Proposals/Wrapping_Text and if > I read it correctly, the proposed simplicity of controlling what > happens on overflow e.g. overflow = visible or clipped though I do > think the refinements on this are important i.e. it is important to > include values " to allow the author control over whether clipped > text renders in part, in whole, or not at all" That's correct, if we want to add these options, we would have to extend CSS's 'overflow' a bit to allow it to hide or fully show clipped text (I guess that would be 2 new keywords); we'd thus have to convince the CSS WG that that particular use case is worth it, so if you have concrete examples where that would be useful, please let me know!
