Re: [css-text] text-transform: capitalize Word Boundaries too strict

CSS Text Module Level 3 doesn't define what to consider as word boundary.
It lets it up to the user agent to determine this. The related paragraph
says this:

"For capitalize, what constitutes a “word“ is UA-dependent; [UAX29] is
suggested (but not required) for determining such word boundaries. Authors
should not expect capitalize to follow language-specific titlecasing
conventions (such as skipping articles in English)."

Note that Gecko actually capitalizes the words as you expect in your
examples.
