Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] cursive shaping breaks needs better scoping (#698)

Well, yes. But we still have to define what happens in all cases. This is a Web Platform spec after all. :)

Wrt `initial-letter` vs regular inlines, were were made aware that the specific requirements around initial letter formatting that requires shaping across that boundary, so that's explicitly specced. Initial letter formatting is a specialized form of layout, and is different form inline layout. (I also want to point out that initial letter styling and :first-letter styling are not the same thing. Initial letter styling can be applied to spans, and :first-letter elements are just like spans and not like initial letters unless they're explicitly styled as initial letters.)

Agenda+ to ask the WG if we should have margins/borders/padding _not_ affect shaping in regular inlines, as Firefox now appears to do. @jfkthame Any opinions?
