That would make the note in the current CSS specification even stranger,
since it clearly suggests more.

I wonder what people think about "ch", for example, in languages where it
is traditionally treated as a single letter in some sense, e.g. in
alphabetic order. If you specify that the first letter of each paragraph
appear in red, what would people intuitively expect to happen when a
paragraph stats with a Spanish word with "Ch" or "Ll" at its beginning.
