There is a long-standing related [Mozilla bug](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125390).

For what it's worth, in order to different use cases I [suggested earlier](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2016Feb/0018.html) to extend the syntax of `letter-spacing` to allow to control whether the spacing should extend the text. The proposed syntax was:

    letter-spacing: [ normal | <length> ] [ inside || [ outside | inline-start | inline-end ] ]?

For web compatibility, the default value would then be `normal inside inline-end`. The value currently defined by the spec. would be `normal inside`.
