Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] text-wrap: pretty (Issue #864)

Thank you for commenting to the issue, that helps.

For your second part, sorry I don't understand what the neuance of "caliber" is, please disregard if I seem to misunderstand, but if you consider hyphenation is minor and you're looking for some other major features in Knuth-Plass, it may be difficult. The 3 top areas Knuth-Plass can improve are hyphenation, justification, and typographic widows/orphans control. For example, https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/672 has 8 candidate improvements, 3 are about typographic widows/orphans, 2 are about hyphenations, and 3 are about justification. Another example, [this article](https://clagnut.com/blog/2424#:~:text=Another%20value%20in%20the%20specification%20is%20text%2Dwrap%3Apretty) expects `pretty` to improve typographic widows/orphans and better spacing, and "better spacing" is more important when the text is justified.

I fully agree having a separate control for typographic orphans is good, but if `pretty` means using more sophisticated non-greedy algorithms such as Knuth-Plass, I think it's reasonable to expect its outcome is minimizing typographic widows/orphans plus minor features, if we consider hyphenation and justification are minor.
