Re: css3-text- Indic Inputs

I agree with Andrew: there needs to be wording making it clear that
the first-letter pseudo-element applies to the first grapheme cluster.
 This will be true not only for the Indic scripts, but also for
Indic-derived scripts of Southeast Asia like Thai, Laos, Myanmar,
Khmer, and Tai Tham, inter alia.

It will still be a very long time before browsers actually provide
adequate support: but in any case it will be very nice if the specs
have adequate wording so implementors will have a better clue about
what might actually be required to support complex scripts.
