Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] Reconsidering the CSS letter-spacing model (#10193)

> The amount of letter-spacing used in the main text of that HK gov site seems quite unusual to me; I rarely see so much spacing applied to blocks of body text.

From my years of experience living in HK, such kind of large spacing is used quite a lot in Chinese text in HK.

Since `letter-spacing` is such an old feature with pretty stable behavior over the years, I would prefer a more cautious approach:
- Revise the spec to match what browsers are currently doing (at least on the interoperable part)
- Introduce something new to specify where to apply spacing:

```css
letter-spacing: 1px end; /* default value */
letter-spacing: 1px start;
letter-spacing: 1px symmetric; /* or just "center"? */
```
