[css-text] E: Follow-up on Balance Text Proposal

> Hi folks,

I have added the [css-text] to the subject so it gets archived accordingly.

I really like this design and know firsthand that writers/designers feel a ton of pain with widowed words. I can't count how many times I had to insert manual line breaks to make the paragraph look like their designs. I suggest, if possible that this get included in css-text-4 unless there are lower level APIs to achieve the same result. That said, I like the simplicity of this design.
