Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] text-spacing is very complicated (#4246)

Suppose a piece of Japanese text and a piece of French text contains some sentences where ascii spaces are used to create spacing and other sentences where no such space characters are used.  Then a content author applied auto-space, let's say for arguments sake with replace switched on.  Then a reader copies the text containing gaps.  What ends up on the clipboard?

I'm assuming that the clipboard would contain space characters where they were originally present in the text, but not retain any gaps where the separation was achieved only through applying CSS autospace. 

(In other words, if you copy several paragraphs in French where the original author used autospace to introduce a gap before/after punctuation, then after pasting the text would need to be autospaced or manually edited to reintroduce the gaps.)
