[css3-text] minor editorial comments

At-risk list includes:
 
  "minimum and maximum limits of ‘word-spacing’ and ‘letter-spacing’"

The 'letter-spacing' property was revised to remove these so that's no
longer part of the spec.

The current ED contains multiple "issues" that aren't really issues
but reminders to check something, requests for feedback, etc.  I think
only the *issues* should be marked as such, use some other form of
markup for the other items so that it's easier to review the actual
issues.

There's a property index but no index.  Ditto for the the Writing
Modes spec. Both need an index, especially given the *large* number of
terms defined for each ("bi-orientational" in WM being my personal favorite).

That's not quite exact enough I think, I would suggest:

s/not apply optional ligatures/not apply optional ligatures enabled by default/

The Fonts spec defines these so this way implementors will know
precisely what is to be disabled.

Text Processing Order of Operations

The inner list, under "4. text wrapping", should use some other
enumeration, I would suggest lower Latin.

  s/glyph selection and kerning/glyph selection and positioning/

Kerning is just one of several positioning operations when laying out
text runs.
