Initial Letter Styling in Ethiopic Documents

Hello Everyone,

I was just looking over the ELReq Gap Analysis document that Richard posted
last time and thought that we could make an exercise of tackling an easy
one that is in a "Needs research" status. At least I think its easy... can
people here share their views on the topic:

3.5 Initial letter styling

https://w3c.github.io/elreq/gap-analysis/#initialletter

"Does the browser or ereader correctly handle special styling of the
initial letter of a line or paragraph, such as for drop caps or similar?"


My response here would be "Yes, browsers and ereaders do correctly handle
initial letter styling by virtue of there being no special requirements in
Ethiopic publishing to support."  The layout topic is effectively Not
Applicable -at least that's my experience thus far.

Can people respond as to whether or not you agree, and if you are aware of
any special cases for initial letter styling, please describe it your reply.

thanks!

-Daniel
