I made a change last night in WebKit to have a run of <whitespace><punc>character<whitespace><punc> be treated as :first-letter (where <whitespace> includes non-breaking spaces, and <punc> is the categories noted in the spec).

An issue I did not handle is how newlines in that whitespace are treated, particularly if "white-space: pre" is applied.
