r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:
== Allow use of replace with text-autospace: normal ==
https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-4/#propdef-text-autospace
Currently, the `replace` keyword for `text-autospace` has to be used with `ideographic-alpha ideographic-numeric`, and cannot be used with the `normal` keyword.
```
normal | <autospace> | auto
<autospace> = no-autospace |
[ ideograph-alpha || ideograph-numeric || punctuation ]
|| [ insert | replace ]
```
Not least because `normal` is the most widely implemented part of `text-autospace`, but also because it just makes sense to allow the `replace` function to be applied while using `normal`, i propose that we alter the syntax to allow `normal replace`. That will allow content authors to normalise gap widths while using the default setting for `text-autospace`.
Since `replace` isn't yet implemented anywhere, this should hopefully be unproblematic.
