Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] letter-spacing should not apply to the end edge of a line/span?

I have mixed feelings about this. It is unfortunate that browser engines have settled on a sub-par design for the feature but I don't doubt that fixing letter-spacing (to leave the last letter of the line unaffected) wouldn't be trivial and would cause compat issues. 

That being said, I share @fantasai's point of view that adding a flag to letter-spacing is adding complexity to the platform that might not be worth the gain. The work-around (negative margin) for this particular issue doesn't seem very difficult to use when needed, so I would posit it is probably fine to keep things as-is in this case. 

Except if your language uses ideographic-like or monospace characters, letter-spacing is a not a functioning concept to start with:
