IIUC, each CSS property has default values. E.g. see
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/ . However, the HTML UA style sheet overrides
these for HTML elements as necessary.

line-break's default value is 'auto' according to:
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-text-3/#line-break-property
which means
"The UA determines the set of line-breaking restrictions to use, and it may
vary the restrictions based on the length of the line; e.g., use a less
restrictive set of line-break rules for short lines."

Question to Addison: would a default setting of 'strict', 'normal' or 'loosel
be better for  our purposes?


As for "word-wrap"
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-text-3/#overflow-wrap-property
it looks like we should replace that with "overflow-wrap".
