Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] Hanging/collapsing of fixed-width spaces not specified (#3879)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `Hanging/collapsing fixed-width spaces`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: fixed width spaces U+2000 and up are treated like U+0020 and U+3000 -- hang / disappear at end of line`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;fantasai> Topic: Hanging/collapsing fixed-width spaces<br>
&lt;fantasai> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3879<br>
&lt;fantasai> florian: Spaces ...<br>
&lt;fantasai> florian: Currently only U+0020 and U+3000 are able to hang<br>
&lt;fantasai> florian: But other fixed-width spaces don't<br>
&lt;fantasai> florian: don't know if there was a specific reason not to include them, or some kind of oversight<br>
&lt;fantasai> fantasai: I think we knew that nbsp couldn't hang<br>
&lt;fantasai> fantasai: so we only had U+0020 hang<br>
&lt;fantasai> fantasai: later on added ideographic space in response to feedback from Japan<br>
&lt;fantasai> fantasai: Didn't re-evaluate other fixed-width space<br>
&lt;fantasai> florian: Compat risk?<br>
&lt;fantasai> fantasai: Probably low, most people don't know they exist<br>
&lt;fantasai> fantasai: I'd be willing to change the spec and see how it goes<br>
&lt;fantasai> fantasai: We'll need to except nbsp<br>
&lt;fantasai> fantasai: also ogham space mark?<br>
&lt;fantasai> florian: There's about whether spaces can hang at the end of the line in pre-wrap<br>
&lt;fantasai> florian: separate question of whether they disappear when wrapping 'white-space: normal'<br>
&lt;fantasai> florian: Not sure how to deal with ogham<br>
&lt;fantasai> fantasai: will have to as i18n<br>
&lt;fantasai> RESOLVED: fixed width spaces U+2000 and up are treated like U+0020 and U+3000 -- hang / disappear at end of line<br>
