[ilreq] Intrasyllabic character spacing

dscorbett has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/ilreq:

== Intrasyllabic character spacing ==
The draft says “in case of Indian language, the space needs to be introduced after each syllable for correct representation” and “letter spacing in all Indian languages must follow Indic Orthographic syllable definition.” Here is a counterexample: the Malayalam heading of https://archive.org/stream/englishmalayalam00tobirich#page/1/mode/1up spaces ⟨കോ⟩ into three pieces and ⟨ശം⟩ into two, although each is one syllable. The document’s style is to add space between base glyphs, regardless of syllable boundaries. This makes sense because, for example, the vowel sign _ē_ has the same visual weight as the consonant _ka_.
