Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] letter-spacing should not apply to the end edge of a line/span? (#1518)

Let me join the discussion saying how it should work:
*before the first character half of the additional space is inserted
*after every character the additional space is inserted
*after the last character half of the additional space is inserted instead of the entire additional space
How it currently works:
*after every character the additional space is inserted

This is important because letter-spacing has traditionally been used in Germany to highlight words in text like italic text in English speaking countries.
That's why the space to the sides of a word in a text should be **equal**. See the picture below for how not to do it:
