Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] Having overflow-wrap: break-word affect min-content size is not webcompatible

> Did Gecko turn to be positive about `word-break: break-word`? IIUC we're doing this effort because Gecko is negative. If still negative, and if we consider that we won't take this route, we will need to come up with yet another proposal.

So, I think the motivation is that the line breaking is already complicated, and we (as the working group) don't want to add another complexity onto that.

I don't think this really changes our attitude about `word-break: break-word`. It would be good if we can follow this route, but we (Gecko) probably cannot bear the cost by ourselves, so we would appreciate if other browsers can try doing the same change as well, preferably within a similar time frame.

I suppose that the behavior change should be reasonably easy to implement in Blink and WebKit as you already have all the code needed (for `word-break: break-word`), and there have already been some web-platform tests added as part of Gecko's implementation (in web-platform-tests/wpt#12002).
