Perhaps this makes more sense to me in the context of multiple directional
runs, so for example, let's look at two cases:

The simple case - the directionality of the div and the inline element are
identical:
<div class="test ellipsis" dir=LTR>
Hello World
</div>

This truncates to |Hello Wo...|

Now, let's add some RTL text on the end:
<div class="test ellipsis" dir=LTR>
Hello World OLLEH
</div>

There are basically 2 options for truncating this:

1. |Hello World OL...|
This is what the patch I've uploaded and IE do and seems like the right
behavior to me.

2. |Hello World ...EH|
Placing the ellipsis in the middle of the run rather than close to the box edge
seems wrong to me.

What do you think?
