[Bug 28170] Reference to CSS element content in <br> and <wbr> rendering

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28170

--- Comment #3 from Andrea Rendine <master.skywalker.88@gmail.com> ---
I checked some of the "official" material about "display-outside" CSS property.
I quoted the term "official" because we are talking about a working draft, so I
don't know its completion status as of now.

…So you're saying that, in WHATWG opinion, <br> and <wbr> are to be rendered
according to the value of a CSS3 property whose syntax is defined in a working
draft, as of yet, and which is NOT supportedy by any browser. A CSS property
whose syntax allows "display" as shorthand, but in a confused way because it
has to ensure legacy compatibility for one of the most widespread CSS layout
properties. A CSS property which also controls the layout of parent element.

This is not enough. WHATWG opinion is that  <br> and <wbr> should be rendered
according to 2 brand-new values for this property, which aren't going to be
used anywhere else (as I'm not aware of other elements breaking strings OR
defininig "string-break opportunities").

…Am I the only one who find something weird in all of this?
