Hello! 1. Gecko, Presto and Trident handle spaces between inline-blocks by the word-space property, but Webkit doesn't. It does by the letter-spacing property which, I believe, is wrong, since inline-blocks behavior is more words alike then glyphs. For example adjacent inline-blocks can break into rows while usual glyphs in words can't (with word-break:normal). However, that isn't defined anywhere in CSS, so probably it's good idea to define that somewhere? Nowadays word-spacing property is often used to eliminate spaces between inline-blocks produced by code formatting white-spaces. 2. Opera and IE doesn't allow the word-spacing property to shrink white-space less then a zero. Again there is no definition anywhere, but probably that's good idea, since different fonts have different space width (notably monospace fonts), and it can be unpredictable due to font substitution. Such a rule could help to avoid unintended text overlapping. Isn't it worth adding it?
