Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Add new CSS properties math-script-level and math-style (#3746)

@litherum If there were to be a `[css-math]` then I think that would encourage adding math-specific features to CSS, instead of encouraging the adding of more general features that math and non-math applications can use.

If there were motivating test cases, then it would be easier to see how things would interact and explore alternatives. For example, it would be useful to have exapmples for a^b^c, a^b^c^d, a_(b_c), a_(b_(c_d),  a_(b_c)^(d^e), a_(b_(c_d))^(e^f) and similar in both inline and display contexts to evaluate how the proposed algorithm works. In these cases in particular I think users would sometimes like to override the default sizing algorithm to implement TeX-like two-level sizing or similar, and I think it would be useful to see how the proposal allows users to do that too, given these examples. (Allowing users to easily fine-tune the layout is one reason I suggest doing more of the layout in the default HTML/MathML CSS stylesheet instead of in the layout engine itself.)
