[csswg-drafts] [css-text-4] hyphenate-character doesn't just put hyphen at end of line

r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-text-4] hyphenate-character doesn't just put hyphen at end of line  ==
8.1. Hyphens: the hyphenate-character property
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-4/#hyphenate-character

> If a string is specified, it appears at the end of the line before a hyphenation break.

I can't find an example at the moment, but i'm pretty sure i have come across languages that put the hyphen at the beginning of the second line, rather than before the hyphenation break.  This appears to be supported by the Unicode Standard, which says: 

> A common default rendering is to insert a hyphen before the line break, but this is insufficient or even incorrect in many situations.
