Re: [css3-gcpm] Spacing and alignment of leaders

There's a possibility of doing something with leaders now that we couldn't
in the hot-metal days, and that is to programmatically 'create' a run,
without thinking in terms of direct application of glyphs. In other words,
being able to call on a specific SVG definition of what we want. An
additional calling mechanism to SVG for such occasions (perhaps svg()
maybe?) with a fallback to the glyph-based rule syntax described so far,
could allow an SVG engine to take the load and the responsibility, if
available.
