Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] Reconsider the initial value of the `text-autospace` property (#12386)

Fwiw, WebKit has shipped by default to figure out the performance of the `normal` value, not really a choice based on user experience.

I'm not convinced at the argument that because current sites already use ASCII spaces, we don't need this. Helping  _future_ authors and making their authoring experience less hacky/painful is also super valuable.

Though I'm also not super qualified to talk about CJK scripts so I'm curious to see what Japanese authors like @sakupi01 think what the best default value for `text-autospace` would be (see https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-4/#propdef-text-autospace for all the possible choices), especially considering authoring for future sites.
