Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] [css-inline] Define how to deal with inline backgrounds whose boundary falls into a ligature (#5251)

> Breaking optional ligatures to correctly handle a color change might be reasonable

The browser cannot, in general, know which shaping behaviors are "optional" and which are required for orthographically correct rendering of the content.

The spec need not mandate exactly how color changes get rendered if they occur in the midst of shaped sequences, given that sometimes there is no clear "right" answer, but I think it's a reasonable expectation that changing color should never affect layout.
