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

Fwiw, I received an interesting 2023 blog post (in Japanese) from one of the respondents that provides some data on this topic: https://devadjust.exblog.jp/29549895/

The post references a 2019 Twitter poll of around 6,800 respondents showing that approximately 60% of respondents don't insert spaces between CJK and alphanumeric characters when writing. The author also surveyed major tech companies' Japanese websites and found mixed practices.

If the majority of users are already writing without spaces, and even major companies are divided on this convention, then `no-autospace` as the default would better align with contemporary usage patterns, while still providing a useful auto-space-insertion feature.
