Resolved: Accept the proposal to have width/height influence min-content contribution of shrinkable flex items (Issue #2353)

fantasai and florian introduced their proposal to create two new properties, max-lines and block-ellipsis, which combine into a shorthand line-clamp.
- The goal of these properties is to serve as a replacement for -webkit-line-clamp while removing some of the behavior people don’t like thus allowing browsers to alias -webkit-line-clamp to line-clamp.
- Generally this was favorably received though there were requests to add more examples and notes as well as to ensure that there won’t be breakage when an implementor switches from the current -webkit-line-clamp behavior to line-clamp.
- An issue will be opened to ensure that the extension path for these features is clear before this can go into a full WD.
- Resolved: Continue this work in Overflow as an ED
Resolved: Copy text-overflow from UI3 to overflow-3, move text-overflow from UI4 to overflow-4.
Resolved: Having max-lines not apply across BFC boundaries (Issue #2429)

Resolved: Have rachelandrew make the change to refer to fragmentation in general instead of paged media specifically. (Issue #1746)
Resolved: Move this issue (Add switch to avoid generating empty column boxes?) to L2. (Issue #1565)
Resolved: Won’t change [in reference to height of column rule] (Issue #2309)
Resolved: No change to L1 [for spanning elements late in the content] refiled against L2 to think about in context of n-spanners (Issue #2448)
Resolved: Go with option 1 in this sizing issue- overflow columns effect the multicol container’s height. (Issue #1745)
Resolved: Accept the proposed text in Issue #2549 [In continuous media, this property (balancing) does not have any effect when there are overflow columns]
Resolved: Publish a new working draft of multicol

When there are FXTF issues that need WG review, an email will be sent to the CSSWG mailing list.

Resolved: ::marker exists on all elements, on ::before and on ::after but no box unless it’s display: list-item. (Issue #1793)
Resolved: In a block-in-inline split, the block is inside the inline in the box tree, and is a sibling of the two fragments of the inline in the fragment tree. (Issue #1477)
Resolved: A multicolumn spanner that splits and inline is inside of the inline box tree and a sibling to the fragment in the fragment tree. (Issue #1477)
