Other than the boolean method to flag enable/disable (default) this feature,
do you think it's good to have another flag for styling for example the
ellipsis type (as post in JIRA comments) ?
Or put all in a single style, like ellipsisType="none
(default)|left|center|right" or other ?
And last, maybe another good style could be ellipsisChar to specify (if/when
needed, for example by asian charset) a different character ... but I agree
that this is could have small real use cases ...
I can link this feature in JIRA for the 2.1, ok ?
Comments ?
Bye,
Sandro

In general, we try not to overdesign things up front. I'd say let's start with the boolean and modify it later as needed.
