RE: [css-text] Preventing typographic orphans

> In typography, orphans are lone words at the end of a line. However, in CSS, the orphans property controls the minimum number of lines in a block container that must be left at the bottom of a page, not the minimum number of words at the end of a line. Is there anything planned for typographic orphans? If not, why?

There has been talk of a `text-balance` property that takes a percentage value. The value determines the minimum length for the last line of a paragraph, compared to the average line length. The property defaults to auto which computes to 0% (the last line can be anywhere from 0-100% of the average line length). If the text-balance property computes to 100%, then all of the lines in the paragraph get balanced to give the last line full width.
