Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] `trim-both` and `trim-start` (#13779)

> If we don't really care about that, I think I'd agree that trim-both is enough, and that we could remove trim-start.

Except that trim-start is supported by Blink, but trim-both is not (see https://w3c.github.io/i18n-drafts/articles/styling/inline-space.en.html#punc_initial_nospace — early draft !).  That means we'd lose part of the little behaviour that currently works.  :(

But i have to say with the clustering of behaviour around these keywords, rather than having separate properties for paragraph-initial, line-initial, line-final, and punctuation-sequences is really hard for content authors to get their heads around the differences and which to use.  Plus, i got the impression that there may be gaps, eg. for Traditional Chinese behaviour, that are not covered.  I'm inclined to raise an issue to propose splitting them apart.
