Yes, Safari 18.4 shipped `text-autospace: no-autospace` as the default, knowing that `normal` is the specified default. We did so with the awareness we can always change the default in the future. Doing it this way is a bit more conservative, more careful, getting `text-autospace` into the hands of authors in one step, and potentially turning it on for all content in the future as another step. Of course, there's always a concern about compat whenever the web changes existing defaults. We are the first browser to ship support, and we took a more conservative path. We watch as authors use it in Safari, and ensure things are going well. Don't misunderstand Safari 18.4 as either a mistake of incompetence or a permanent decision. It's neither. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jensimmons Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12386#issuecomment-3001270571 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
