[csswg-drafts] [css-text-3][css-text-4] Japanese small kana and `line-break: normal` (#10363)

fantasai has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-text-3][css-text-4] Japanese small kana and `line-break: normal` ==
It turns out that WebKit has been shipping a prohibition against breaks before small kana for awhile. But only sometimes: it depends on whether the language is tagged or not, see [testcase](https://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?%3C!DOCTYPE%20html%3E%3Cbody%20style%3D%22width%3A%200%22%3E%0A%3Cp%3EUntagged%20%E3%81%82%E3%81%A3%E3%81%9F%0A%3Cp%20lang%3Dja%3EJapanese%20%E3%81%82%E3%81%A3%E3%81%9F). Tagged content is looser, untagged content is stricter.

I think this opens up the question of, should we reconsider defaulting `line-break: normal` to prohibiting breaks before small kana? If it's Web-compatible to change, would that be more natural for Japanese?
