Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-inline] initial-letter should allow zero sink? (#3698)

> I'm not sure zero sink would get you that line break there?

I didn't suggest there's an actual line break there (see below)... The offset could just be an implied layout effect from having a zero sink.

The disadvantage is that it makes the initial-letter not part of the first line. `::first-line` would only include the initial-letter for example. That's not the case for initial-letters without a `wrap-after: always` style. To me, the first letter [in the example screenshot above] is semantically part of the first line even though it's rendered above the remainder of the line.  The red color kind of emphasizes that too. Compare for example `initial-letters: 1 2` - that letter is still on the first line although it's rendered completely below it.
(Also, a minor limitation of using `wrap-after` is that you must use a legacy `::first-letter` to apply it (which is a subset of `initial-letter` use cases, IIRC).)
