(Note: don’t forget to also reply to the list, not just me.)

The 'orphans' CSS property is already used for the first meaning (in 
this Wikipedia page). Since what you want (the second meaning) is 
different, I think it would need a new, different property name. Maybe 
'orphan-words'. However I’m not sure which spec/module it should go into.
