Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text-4] Should `text-wrap: balance` apply separate logic before and after forced breaks? (#9112)

The CSS Working Group just discussed ``[css-text-4] Should `text-wrap: balance` apply separate logic before and after forced breaks?``.

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;fantasai> proposal: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/9112#issuecomment-1649890262<br>
&lt;frances> Alan: next issue is on text-wrap: balance, what happens before and after they break?<br>
&lt;frances> fantasai: Johnathan proposed, applies to before and after the lines the lines<br>
&lt;fantasai> s/lines/lines independently/<br>
&lt;frances> Alan: discussed it before, should the balancing algorithm stop or continue? Does it continue and try to balance before or after the break? One or more balancing sections?<br>
&lt;frances> Florian: Proposal is good, separate sets for performance could be good<br>
&lt;frances> Alan: Any other opinions?<br>
&lt;florian> s/could be good/is be good, and no downside identified<br>
&lt;miriam> q+<br>
&lt;frances> Eric: Can think of possibility where to balance and center and force break at a certain point, maybe one word that is centered in the middle of it all. Feel like as an author, wrapping spans anyway<br>
&lt;frances> Alan: Because of the way we are measuring better balance, we are already accounting for different line lengths for fragmentation and line breaks, hard pressed to find result that is substantially different. Balance better to improve according to the spec.<br>
&lt;frances> David: The other thing is that if we want to group across breaks, it would be good for blocking across elements, if there were such a thing, it make sense to be a separate mechanism for both<br>
&lt;astearns> ack miriam<br>
&lt;frances> Miriam: Might be misunderstanding this as being fragmentation breaks possibly<br>
&lt;frances> fantasai: Still line breaking across the fragmentation breaks, if not after the fragmentation and two long lines from wrapping, need to balance across both<br>
&lt;frances> Miriam: more about hard breaks<br>
&lt;frances> David: where you break the lines can influence where you fragment<br>
&lt;frances> Alan: I was correct. should be only forced breaks<br>
&lt;frances> Alan; any other comments?<br>
&lt;frances> PROPOSAL: Forced break resets the balancing algorithm for text-wrap:balance<br>
