In various recent typographic contexts, words like “widows” and “orphans” can be considered insensitive, and also can be easily confused between themselves, with people often using one when meaning another. For example, Ellen Lupton writes about this in her “Thinking with Type” book, on page 128, and proposes a term “short lines” instead of “orphans”. Given [the current description](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-4/#valdef-text-wrap-style-avoid-orphans) of `text-wrap-style: avoid-orphans` starts as “Specifies the UA should avoid excessively short last lines,” I propose rename the value to `avoid-short-lines` (could be more explicit as `avoid-short-last-lines`, but this is probably too much) -- GitHub Notification of comment by kizu Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3473#issuecomment-2504370877 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
