Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-pseudo-4] Allow intervening space and no-break space in ::first-letter, preceding the letter (#9413)

@fantasai After trying to implement according to the updated spec, I realized that there is both _preceding_ and _intervening_ space. In the example form Ulysses below, there's space before and after the m-dash. 

```html
<p>
  ― O Miss Douce! Miss Kennedy protested. You horrid thing
</p>
```

I think both should be included in the `::first-letter`, until now the preceding whitespace has been included in Safari at least.
Should there be any limitations to the whitespace allowed to precede the punctuation?

I'm also wondering if there should be any limitations to how many punctuation characters that are allowed before and after the first letter?
