Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text-4] Don't provide a language parameter for word-boundary-detection (#7193)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `[css-text-4] Don't provide a language parameter for word-boundary-detection`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: name it auto-phrase`
* `RESOLVED: add a principle saying you should break within the phrase instead of overflowing`
* `RESOLVED: If your phrase is too long you should break at a normal word boundry rather than overflow`

&lt;florian> q+<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> I'm weakly towards "phrase" just to suggest what it's actually doing.<br>
&lt;dael_> chrishtr: My understanding is we're all in agreement but need a name<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> and that keyword sounds reasonable from a complexity standpoint<br>
&lt;dael_> chrishtr: Three suggested are what I mentioned<br>
&lt;astearns> ack florian<br>
&lt;dael_> chrishtr: Reason to choose auto-phrase is because it could fallback if there isn't platform support<br>
&lt;dael_> florian: I think auto alone would not be good<br>
&lt;astearns> ack fantasai<br>
&lt;dael_> florian: I think auto alone would be a bad value because it already has a normal. auto-phrase is reasonable. I think keep-phrase would also be okay. I could go either way between those<br>
&lt;dael_> fantasai: Interacts a bit with property name for the whitespace text transform something which automatically inserts spaces at these points. A keyword that can be in both makes sense which auto-phrase does that. auto is too generic and keep-phrase doesn't work forword boundry<br>
&lt;dael_> florian: agree<br>
&lt;dael_> astearns: arguments for anything else?<br>
&lt;dael_> astearns: Objections to naming it auto-phrase<br>
&lt;dael_> RESOLVED: name it auto-phrase<br>
&lt;dael_> fantasai: As people impl this, one consideration we need to make sure is when you turn this on you don't end up triggering overflow b/c the phrases. We'll want to avoid that, particularly if it's long or it's foreign and you can't understand. Normal should be to wrap at a boundry not overflow<br>
&lt;dael_> chrishtr: Makes sense<br>
&lt;dael_> astearns: Anything to resolve here?<br>
&lt;dael_> fantasai: Prop: If your phrase is too long you should break at a normal word boundry rather than overflow<br>
&lt;dael_> astearns: Comfortable with that?<br>
&lt;dael_> florian: Yes<br>
&lt;dael_> astearns: prop: add a principle saying you should break within the phrase instead of overflowing<br>
&lt;dael_> astearns: obj?<br>
&lt;dael_> RESOLVED: add a principle saying you should break within the phrase instead of overflowing<br>
&lt;fantasai> s/within the phrase/at normal word boundary/<br>
&lt;dael_> RESOLVED: If your phrase is too long you should break at a normal word boundry rather than overflow<br>
&lt;fantasai> cool<br>
