[csswg-drafts] [css-text-3] computed value of word-spacing:normal (#3515)

frivoal has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-text-3] computed value of word-spacing:normal ==
[the propdef table of word-spacing](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/#word-spacing-property) says:
> Computed value: the keyword normal or an absolute length

The definition of normal says:

> Computes to zero.

These are contradictory. I suspect we want to align with `letter-spacing`. In that case, we should keep the prose, fix the propdef table, and add:
> For legacy reasons, a computed word-spacing of zero yields a resolved value (getComputedStyle() return value) of normal. 

If not, we should change the prose to "behaves as zero" instead of "computes to zero".
