The CSS2.1 spec for the most part doesn't require any particular line breaking
or page breaking behavior under normal conditions (page-break-*: auto /
white-space: normal). The UA can break at every opportunity or break at none,
but to do a reasonably thorough job of testing many aspects of related parts
of the spec, a lot of tests for the inline box model and page breaking need
to rely on "reasonable" breaking behavior. Melinda and I propose allowing the
following assumptions:
- Tests may assume reasonable page-breaking behavior; e.g., it is assumed
that UAs will not break at every opportunity, but only near the end of
a page unless a page break is forced.
- Tests may assume reasonable line-breaking behavior; e.g., it is assumed
that spaces between alphanumeric characters provide line breaking
opportunities and that UAs will not break at every opportunity, but only
near the end of a line unless a line break is forced.
If there aren't any objections, I'll add these to the list of assumptions at
