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

Thanks. In FF, the German version's hyphenation seems fine, but there seems to be an effort to prevent hyphenation of already hyphenated terms. Given that the elements in a hyphenated compound are not always short, the result are some uneven lines.

Look at the hyphenation of "Dokument-Zeicensatz" to see what I mean. It happens to work out in the title, because breaking a title into two balanced parts is better than filling one line and having just a bit left-over. But that should have been the result of an esthetic rule about type balance for headers. (In the body of the article the same rule leads to some bad line widths).

It's a well-meaning rule (to avoid two different kinds of hyphen in the same compound) but you'd never tolerate the effect in a book. So why in a browser.
