Re: [csswg-drafts] Support for shearing of lines and inline elements (#2983)

Hi all just adding my $.02 since I just discovered this issue and how it impacts shearing of Japanese subtitles in CSS scenarios. This impacts all Japanese subtitles we author and while many of the use cases do not depend on CSS, many do and require workarounds to accomplish on screen what has been authored in the ttml itself. For my use case specifically the region extents cropping text when shearing is applied, requiring modification to the style settings that we otherwise wouldn't want to include. See below for an example of shearing being cropped as displayed via imscJS CSS.

For more media context, more and more content owners and media platforms are implementing IMSC as their core timed text format for media inventories and mezzanine time text distribution assets, but many platforms still perform format conversions (converting from IMSC to VTT, etc.) to display subtitles due to limitations like this (and of course for other reasons internal to their own media processing pipelines).
