Currently the syntax for the line-clamp property is none | [<integer [1,∞]> || <'block-ellipsis'>] -webkit-legacy?. The none branch at the left of the bar (|) sets all three longhands to their initial values. However, none is also a valid value for the right hand of the bar, since it's a valid value for the block-ellipsis property; and that would set continue to its non-initial collapse value.

The none left branch probably needs to keep that name for compatibility with -webkit-line-clamp¹. But we probably want to be able to represent continue: collapse; max-lines: none; block-ellipsis: none with some shorthand. So should we find some other keyword for the block-ellipsis value where there's no ellipsis? Note that the declarations line-clamp: none 3 or line-clamp: none -webkit-legacy might be confusing to developers, especially since setting the block-ellipsis value might be uncommon.
