No.

In fact, one of my biggest complaints about InDesign is the lack of
support of hanging punctuation.

A lot of CSS3 initiatives are already way far ahead of Word and
InDesign (which, btw, does not even support RTL languages properly
except in the special ME versions). It makes absolutely no sense to
remove a valid feature from CSS just because other software have not
yet caught up with CSS.
