Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] spaces before break in 'pre-wrap' text should allow combination of hanging and collapsing

Fair point. we should probably adjust the spec accordingly, as nobody 
collapses all the spaces. That said, note that:
- IE/Edge don't collapse at all, and hangs the spaces
- Safari does what you say you'll do
- Chrome does a strange inbetween thing: the overflowing spaces are 
sort of collapsed, since text-decoration for example won't underline 
them, but if you select them the selection will extend past the box. 
test here: http://jsbin.com/difonuw/1/edit?html,css,output

So the IE/Edge behavior is now ok and would stay ok after the change 
you suggest, the Safari would be more clearly ok after the change than
 before (and I think you plan to do the same thing), and the chrome 
behavior is just weird. I don't know that it is intentional though.

Finally, don't be too fast in dropping old code (well, sure you have 
source control...), some of the behavior Mozilla has now under 
`white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;` should be preserved for
 `white-space:pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-spaces;` when 
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/pull/111 gets merged (it's already
 resolved, just tweaking the wording now).
