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

@revoltpuppy What are your recommendations to move this closed issue forward? 

I think we all agree that hyphenation is hard and the problem is very different in different languages (e.g. English, German, Finnish). Because of this the changes should be tested and considered from multiple angles. In the recent years the `hyphens: auto` feature has been the most effective tool in Finnish language to make layouts stay intact. We actually have  real words like lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas (for real) in Finnish which **kind of** easily break the layout.  And the change that the sentences first word is not hyphenated  breaks stuff in mobile widths and grid layouts.

We have used for example https://github.com/mnater/Hyphenopoly as a second tool to make it work for all browsers but the native CSS support is in my opinion the best way to solve this problem.
