Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text-3] Implement or unship word-break:break-word

The Working Group just discussed `word-break: break-word`, and agreed to the following resolutions:

* `RESOLVED: Defer this to next level`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;fantasai> Topic: word-break: break-word<br>
&lt;fantasai> https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/issues-lc-2013#issue-94<br>
&lt;dael> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2390<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Last time we talked we'd say add only if nec for compat reasons. Do we have enough information? Or are we deferring?<br>
&lt;dael> florian: I talked about this with Rossen and they felt comfortable postponing for now. They're not sure they're doing it yet.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: So continue to defer. Useful to know.<br>
&lt;dael> florian: There is a FF bug about impl because it was in the spec at some point. We were clear that seeing it in a spec is not enough justification for impl.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: And we removed it from the spec.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: So closed as deferred?<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: Objections?<br>
&lt;dael> myles: In L4 isn't there another property that does same thing?<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: There's an existing property that's word-wrap:break-word and that's different behavior.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: And even with identical behavior there may be a web compat reason to put it in L4.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: Objections?<br>
&lt;dael> RESOLVED: Defer this to next level<br>
&lt;dael> florian: Follow up question to Blink. usage is quite high so your default answer is no.<br>
&lt;dael> koji: We contacted some site owners and they said the think the different behavior is important so they won't change.<br>
&lt;dael> koji: About computing [missed] widths. It beaks line only if it overflows so if an author sets it in the table cell it expands. The scenario to not extends makes it more difficult to us.<br>
&lt;dael> myles: min-width is different.<br>
&lt;dael> florian: But if we impl line-break:anywhere would that work?<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: No because word breaking is normal.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: This is now a text L4 issue.<br>
&lt;dbaron> The breakout is being scribed in #fx.<br>
