Re: [csswg-drafts] Proposal: CSS Text Transitions & Animations (#13689)

A while ago I made an inventory of which features GSAP offers that are hard or impossible to do with CSS. “Split text into _units_” was one of the gaps I identified.

Here are all their demos that could benefit from this being added into CSS:

- Split text into Characters:
  - [Horizontal Text](https://demos.gsap.com/demo/horizontal-text)  
  - [Revert after animation](https://demos.gsap.com/demo/revert-after-animation)  
  - [Scramble or Unscramble text](https://demos.gsap.com/demo/text-scrambling)  
  - [Animate Text](https://demos.gsap.com/demo/animate-text)  
  - [Swipe Slider](https://demos.gsap.com/demo/swipe-slider)
- Split text into Words
  - [Ignore Nested Elements](https://demos.gsap.com/demo/ignore-nested-elements)  
  - [Animate Text](https://demos.gsap.com/demo/animate-text)
- Split text into Lines
  - [Responsive Line Splits](https://demos.gsap.com/demo/responsive-line-splits-on-scroll)  
  - [Text Masking](https://demos.gsap.com/demo/text-masking)  
  - [Animate Text](https://demos.gsap.com/demo/animate-text)
