Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text-4] Is hyphenate-character stable enough to ship? (#6887)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `can we ship hyphenate-character?`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: hyphenate-character is shippable; we'll add it to the Snapshot 2022 list of exceptions`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;TabAtkins> Topic: can we ship hyphenate-character?<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> jfkthame: Question in the title<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> jfkthame: webkit and blink have this, but -webkit- prefixed<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: And Firefox has this unprefixed?<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> jfkthame: Yes, behind a nightly flag<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> jfkthame: So quesiton is whether we can ship it unflagged<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: I think so. I don't remember there being any issues against this particular property for the many years it's been around<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: Agree. You noted there might need to be extensions later to be smart about some details, but they can be put on top of the current value set<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: What's state of the spec?<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: WD, this is level 4<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: So we resolve this is okay to publish, and add this to the snapshot list of things that are shippable ahead of process<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: objections?<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> RESOLVED: hyphenate-character is shippable; we'll add it to the Snapshot 2022 list of exceptions<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: Do we want to resolve to publish a Draft Note 2022 with this change?<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: I think we should publish as needed, yes.<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> chris: Seems much better to publish as we ahve updates, yes<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: So proposed reoslution is we publish a Draft Note for 2022<br>
&lt;fantasai> (Now that we have a Draft Note)<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> chris: since /TR/CSS goes to the snapshot, why don't we publish a NOte series with "css" as the shortname, so every time it's not the first draft, but just an update?<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: I didn't like this; I think it's useful to have snapshots on a yearly basis<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: Just walking back thru publish history isn't the same<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> chris: If you follow history right now, it'll say "css 2022 has been published once", and you can't go back to 2021 from there<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: I think your point is valid but it is true for all leveled/versioned things<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: That's an issue for the templates<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> astearns: So no reoslution, we'll break<br>
