Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] Add new CSS text-transform values for math (#3745)

Thanks for the insights, @joanmarie. This is very different from the "common sense" (but I guess outdated) advice I'd been given β€” that one should always use `text-transform: uppercase` instead of using all caps in the text content because all caps text content is often read out as initials instead of words.

For the math use case, it does greatly simplify things if the proper accessibility practice is to expose the formatted text.

It doesn't help the accessibility issues of decorative-characters, though, but I think that's beside the point, since this is already an accessibility issue without `text-transform`. Misuse of math characters has become so common on social media that screen readers probably need to add smart heuristics so they can read out 𝕸𝖆𝖙𝖍 in a way similar to how they'd announce **Math** or MATH.
