Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-inline] better name for initial-letters property (#2950)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `better name for initial-letters property`.

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;dael> Topic: better name for initial-letters property<br>
&lt;dael> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2950#issuecomment-438736819<br>
&lt;dael> jensimmons: As issue says we're debating a name. Kinda hit me is a way to approach is desc what this does. I wrote some stuff, but I disagree with myself.<br>
&lt;dael> jensimmons: Right now I'm thinking maybe line-span is a poss. I originally rejected because span is in the html, but there's em in html and em unit in CSS and that's never confused.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Okay with that<br>
&lt;dael> jensimmons: Made me wonder if you can do more than make a letter big. Like if you had an image would it do anything?<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Yes, if you apply to an atomic element it will apply. There is text on how this works with inline blocks and images.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: Def. intended to work in that case<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: I think that was my favorite from the list<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: Other opinions?<br>
&lt;dael> dauwhe: Plausable to me<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> But to clarify: it still only applies to the first element of a block? So that's the bit that isn't conveyed by the name.<br>
&lt;dael> bradk: line-span makes it sound like it would be any inline element and it would span the line. That was my concern<br>
&lt;dael> jensimmons: Agree we need to think about that<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: Table this for now and get to it at F2F. Let's try and get to this on the first day to make sure we give it needed time<br>
