[css-text-4] Replace word-boundary-detection: auto() with word-break: phrase
#8974

This looks great to me, thank you so much. Would you try to get a resolution at WG? |
I added Agenda+ to #7193. |
word-boundary-detection: auto() with word-break: phrase
| Authors who prepare their content in this manner | ||
| should not rely on the initial value, and | ||
| should explicitly specify ''word-break'' on the relevant parts of the content, | ||
| in order to override a potential ''word-break: auto'' | ||
| in the [=User Origin=] or [=User-Agent Origin=]. |

I believe this is no longer relevant. (The previous model relied on specifying word-break: keep-all in order to work.)
| Manual analysis of the content can be more reliable than UA heuristics. | ||
| For best results, authors who can perform this analysis are encouraged to markup their documents | ||
| using <{wbr}> or U+200B | ||
| to exhaustively indicate word boundaries. |

This should probably add that UAs should respect such WBRs as more authoritative than their automatic detection, similar to soft hyphens.
| User agents may activate | ||
| language-specific content analysis | ||
| in response to user preferences. | ||
| User agents with this behavior must do this | ||
| by setting the [=declared value=] of 'word-break' to ''word-break/phrase'' | ||
| in the [=User Origin=]. |

This bit should go into a separate section about accessibility tweaks that the UA can provide, not here in the core definition (where it interrupts understanding the property).
| User agents that do not support the [=User Origin=] | ||
| should use the [=User-Agent Origin=] instead. |

I don't think we need to say anything about what happens when a UA is non-conformant to css-cascade.
