Yeah, text-overflow: ellipsis is a great solution if you only need one line, but unfortunately it doesn’t work for vertical overflow. (If they ever implement that, i’ll be delighted!)
The reason why I use a large max-height number here is that I often use the CSS solution in the case where there’s an “expand” button that the user can click to see the full content, and I’m usually asked to have it slide down with an animation. CSS transitions work on max-height and max-width if you’re transitioning between two numbers, but not from a number to the none value. If you’re not having to deal with animated transitions, though, max-height: none totally works!
