[csswg-drafts] [css-text-4] prioritized hyphenation may be incompatible with hyphenate-limit-zone

frivoal has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-text-4] prioritized hyphenation may be incompatible with 
hyphenate-limit-zone ==
I believe that css-text (3&4) try to be silent on the concept of 
prioritized hyphenation opportunities not to rule them out, but to 
leave them up to the UA, as a matter of implementation quality.

However, It seems to me that the concept of prioritized hyphenation 
opportunities is at odds with the [hyphenate-limit-zone property from 
level 4](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-4/#hyphenate-size-limits). 
As currently defined, it seems to require that parts of words be 
pulled back from the subsequent line to fill the current one once a 
certain threshold amount of white space is reached, and that does not 
seem to allow for prioritization, since you have to pull whichever 
part of the word will fit when you get to that point. Maybe that 
should be changed to also have an auto value that would allow for 
prioritization, and/or to have two values rather than one: one that 
indicates the minimum amount of left-over space before you're allowed 
(but not required) to hyphenate, the other one being the maximum 
amount of left-over space before you're required to hyphenate even if 
that means using low priority hyphenation points.
