Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] Clarify whether soft breaks exist at boundaries of an inline element with `word-break:break-all` (#3897)

I agree with you that a quick bit of testing suggests that no browser currently supports 1. I consider that a bug.

Regarding 2, following your approach would not only keep the name unbroken, but would also forbid a break between the name and adjacent characters, wouldn't it? You agree that this is undesirable, but claim that this feels like a chrome bug, while it seems to me that this is a consequence of your proposal. If it is not, then I am misunderstanding what your proposal is, and would appreciate if you could clarify.

In both cases, yes, you could work around that by injecting ZWSP with ::before and ::after, but why should you have to? Is there any use case where the behavior you propose is needed beneficial? (I mean easier for authors to use in realistic scenarios, not easier for implementers to reason about in the abstract.
