Re: [jlreq] 3.2.6 d: Discussions regarding the amount of inter-character spacing between Kanji and alpha numeric characters (#163)

> I prefer to start simple, measure, and incrementally improve. From that, I think we should start with 1/4em, the value defined in JIS, with on and off (so 0 or 1/4em). If we see more voices and high usages of the property, we can add more options.

I think we already have that in both [jlreq](https://w3c.github.io/jlreq/#handling-of-western-text-in-japanese-text-using-proportional-western-fonts) and [CSS](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-4/#valdef-text-spacing-ideograph-alpha), although AFAIK it's not implemented yet.

This issue is for discussing whether a more flexible approach is needed in the future (I think allowing for more flexibility is useful.).
