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

Regarding the actual issue here of how letter-spacing behaves: An alternative to a new `tracking` property would be to extend `letter-spacing` to take two values, which would be the extra space to be added on the left- and right-hand sides (or inline-start and inline-end sides; I'm not sure whether physical or logical is better here) of each typographic unit; so while current implementations of (single-valued) `letter-spacing` add all the space on one side, the two-valued syntax could be used to add half the desired space on each side, so that centering etc works nicely.
