Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-inline] Initial Letter selection and hanging punctuation

We need to keep in mind that initial punctuation isn't always quotes, sometimes it's brackets. And typographic practice probably varies a lot between English and CJK, so automatic rules that make sense for English might not in Japanese typesetting. The description in http://theworldsgreatestbook.com/book-design-part-6/ shows a lot of subtleties that would be nice to have control over but certainly shouldn't be done automatically for all classes of punctuation worldwide.

Probably the two things that we need here are to a) clarify handling of `hanging-punctuation` in the presence of `initial-letter` and b) look into adding a pseudo-element like `::first-punctuation` or something, to allow the author to select and style punctuation that is part of `::first-letter`.
