Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] For most languages, hyphens:auto should not hyphenate Capitalized words (#3927)

Why would you not want to hyphenate capitalized words? That decision makes aboslutely no sense. It seems that, as usual, decisions are taken looking only at English and not taking into account that other languges may have different needs.

Take this example:

A single-word headline which, as you would exepct, starts with a capital letter. Not getting hyphenated because of this stupid argument.

You absolutely CANNOT use capital letters to detect proper nouns. German capitalizes every single noun and those can be quite long. 
And why would you not want to hyphenate proper nouns in the first place? They are words like any other and they need to be hyphenated when they would protude out of their box.
