Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-pseudo-4] ::first-letter should include space separators (#5154)

We use a regular space between the punctuation and the first letter in norwegian: 
`– Pettersen, ropte hun, – kom inn og få kaffe.`

There are several examples where the punctuation is styled with the same size as the letter. The author notes that it's preferable to hide the punctuation, as in the lower example. Sometimes the punctuation is styled smaller and placed into the margin. I think the best thing would be to support all three versions. This issue should be seen together with #2040
