Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text][text-spacing] Visual regressions of line-start at portals and news sites (#9511)

I made a twitter poll on preference for default of line-start punctuation handling on CSS text-spacing.
https://twitter.com/MurakamiShinyu/status/1717837335382094127

So far, the most preferred is A (trim at all line-start), the second is C (no trim at line-start), and the least preferred (about 20%) is B (trim at line-start except first line).

Also some people gave comments saying:
> I think the default should be A, not for now, but for the broad impact in the future.
> Or perhaps we could default to C, which is the same as the current situation. If we wanted to make it better, we could set text-spacing.

I understood that it will be difficult to reach consensus on `space-first` (trim at line-start except first line) as default. So changing the default to `space-start` (no trim at line-start) is fine to me.

If we change the line-start default to `space-start`, we should also change the line-end default because the combination `space-start` and `trim-end` would look unbalanced. Just related issue:
