[iip] Text units for letter-spacing are incorrect (#109)

r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/iip:

== Text units for letter-spacing are incorrect ==
 Gujarati is an alphasyllabary and the heart of the writing system is the Akshar. It is very common in the gujarati script to represent/brake words based on Akshara, which is instinctively recognized by users of the script. The same requirement is given here. 

 As the W3C specification points to Unicode Text Segmentation (TR 29), it is observed that some of the browsers support it (e.g. Chrome and Firefox) whereas Microsoft Edge and Interner Explorer seems to break the words in individual characters. 

 Also, in cases where there is wrong Akshara formation e.g. Consonant+Matra+Matra, the breaking seems to stack ill formed akshara into one set instead of clearly breaking it separate. This breaking behaviour needs to improve. 

 There are currently no mechanisms for syllable spacing in HTML/CSS.
