Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text-3] line-break property is not CJK-specific

That text is in a note, and refers only to the requirements listed above. In those requirements, when the language is unspecified, only CJK codepoints are indeed affected. Additionally, there is normative text saying "The precise set of rules in effect for each of loose, normal, and strict is up to the UA and should follow language conventions." Also, the very next sentence after the note where you ask for "only CJK codepoints are affected" to be removed is "As UAs can add additional distinctions between strict/normal/loose modes, these values can exhibit other differences as well."

So, from a normative standpoint, what you want to allow is already allowed. From an editorial standpoint, I'd also argue that it is already clear, and I disagree that removing "only CJK codepoints are affected" is a good idea, as it would make that note nonsensical.

With all that considered, if you have editorial improvement to suggest, I think we should consider it to limit future confusion, but otherwise, I would like to close as wontfix.
