Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] Should 'hyphens: auto' work if lang="" is not declared?

I don't have strong opinion one or another, but a few things we should
 consider when discussing:

* As pointed out by webkit bug, we do rely on system in many places 
even when there's no logical connections. I don't have good 
explanation why hyphenation should belong to one way.
* Document can define how to determine languages in other ways than 
the `lang` attribute, HTML defines [the language of a 
node](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dom.html#language). I 
guess people are fine to include this?
* From the HTML definition, "explicitly unknown" and "specified 
unsupported languages" are two different things we should classify 
differently. When specified but we don't have specified dictionary, I 
think we should allow to experiment how to fallback, such as [#785 
Hyphenation usages in 
CJK](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/785),
