Nice to see that a W3C spec editor has understanding that some things make sense to be added to be used not necessarily right now or very soon, but after _some time_ (as browsers are updated and older versions don't matter anymore).

I like the idea about `no-wrap`.

It would also be nice to alias the mentioned CSS-inconsistent `currentColor` as `current-color`.
