[css-inline] better name for initial-letters property #2950

Description

@dauwhe

People have been confused that the initial-letters property sounds more like a selector than a property that changes the rendering of text. Let the bikeshedding begin!

Some possibilities:

  • lettrine
  • dropcap
  • initial-cap

Constraints:

  • reflect what it does, rather than what it affects
  • be meaningful for all writing systems
  • also make sense on digraphs/words
