[ilreq] Issues related to 'Initial letter styling'

r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/ilreq:

== Issues related to 'Initial letter styling' ==
https://w3c.github.io/ilreq/#h_initial_letter_styling

I have just committed some editorial changes for section 3.3, but while reviewing it i also ran into the following issues, which i think need to be addressed:

Just below fig 4 it says:

> In examples of this kind

what kind is meant here?

> In Indic scripts the top reference point is the hanging base line for those scripts that have one, and the bottom alignment point is the text after-edge.

This ignores scripts without a hanging baseline.  I suggest the following:

I"n Indic scripts the top reference point is the hanging base line for those scripts that have one, and the mean/median line for those that don't, and the bottom alignment point is the text after-edge."

> Initial letter wrap property is not applicable for Indian languages. No contour-filling is required in Indian languages. 

I think the document should have links to explanations of what 'Initial letter wrap' and 'contour-filling' mean.

The explanatory text in the images (which is crucial to understanding the text) is very hard to read, because of its size.  Please redesign the images.

> or X1 to descent of the last line or line XN

The meaning of this is hard to decipher.
