Re: [css-text] Enclosed alphanumerics and text-align:capitalize

It seems to me very unfortunate that the enclosed alphanumeric 
characters have case mappings at all, because their typographic use is 
primarily as symbols, not as letters. As such, I would expect their 
'casing' to be fixed, and not to be affected by capitalisation. So, for 
instance, I would expect capitalisation of this string

 ⓐalpha
to be
 ⓐAlpha
not
 Ⓐalpha

If stung by another man's bee, one must calculate the
extent of the injury, but also, if one swatted it in the
process, subtract the replacement value of the bee.
