== [css-inline] Should initial-letter-wrap: all consider text-shadow or other effects? ==
Based on the twitter conversation [ending in this tweet](https://twitter.com/davidbaron/status/924503049237807104) (note that the first tweet in the thread cites a tweet that is itself a thread) I'm wondering whether `initial-letter-wrap` should consider `text-shadow` or other effects.

This example of a first-letter using a font that's somewhat like text-shadow:

(which comes from [this tweet](https://twitter.com/mfyfyr/status/924495300697268224)) seems relevant.  This example can't actually be done with text-shadow, I think -- it would have to be done using a specialized font.  But maybe there are similar examples that would use text-shadow?

Is it worth making implementations consider `text-shadow` for `initial-letter-wrap`, or is that too obscure?
