Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] 'Punctuation space' handling for non-CJK languages (#8661)

I'm not convinced that we do need interoperability in terms of what the specific width of the gap will be, nor that it will be easy to get information and arrive at a consensus on what it should be for each and every language.  That kind of thing can vary by font already, and browsers should probably be allowed to experiment a little, especially for scripts that have little available documentation about this.

Bear in mind, also that the gap width preceding a danda may not be the same gap width needed before another character that is separated from the foregoing text by a gap. And that sometimes different users may currently use different widths in the same context.

There are already plenty of things that we leave to the discretion of the implementers, and to me this seems like another that would be appropriate for that.
