Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text-4] white-space:break-spaces is in level 3 but not level 4 (#3794)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `[css-text-4] white-space:break-spaces is in level 3 but not level 4`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: Add break-spaces to white-space-collapse`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: part of merging level 3 into 4 is making sure we integrated all the level 3 changes<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: level 4 split white-space into two longhands<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: We didn't have a place to host the break-spaces value<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: So currently we put it as a value on white-space-collapse<br>
&lt;florian> q+<br>
&lt;Rossen_> ack florian<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: Two positives, one negative<br>
&lt;fantasai> https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-4/#white-space-collapsing<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: In terms of behavior I think this is the right longhand.<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: In naming, having same keyword in shorthand and longhand is nice<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: But in the context of this longhand, the name isn't intuitive.<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: We could rename, but then it would be differnet keyword between shorthand and longhand<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> florian: So I think the current spec is the right compromise, but it is a compromise<br>
&lt;fantasai> white-space-collapse: collapse | preserve | preserve-breaks | preserve-spaces | break-spaces<br>
&lt;chrishtr> rossen: yes 8637, thanks<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: Agree it's a little awkward in naming, since we only break spaces if we *are* wrapping, which is controlled by another property. It's more like "preserve-breakable-spaces", but that gets longer.<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> Rossen_: Is there anything preventing us from resolving?<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> Rossen_: Objections?<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> fantasai: proposed resolution is to add break-spaces to white-space-collapse<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> RESOLVED: Add break-spaces to white-space-collapse<br>
