Specificationhttps://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-4/#text-autospace-property Design docs https://docs.google.com/document/d/10G1uasooKpKjNeyr1wtLV85wFMlc_TK4-vb9LG_3Fzw/edit#bookmark=id.t5tzxbvnz8gg Summary Inserts small spacings to match the established typographic rules automatically. The spec currently defines one rule for Han ideographic characters and one for French. The initial implementation focuses on the Han ideographic characters rule. Text written in Han ideographic writing systems often mixes multiple scripts, usually the Han ideographic scripts, Latin scripts, and ASCII digits. Small spacings when switching from and to non-Han ideographic scripts often help readability. This property lets browsers insert such spacings automatically. This property has several values, including values for other writing systems. The initial implementation supports the following subset: `text-autospace: normal | no-autospace`. This feature also includes the `text-spacing` shorthand, as now all longhands are available. Blink componentBlink>Layout>Inline <https://issues.chromium.org/issues?q=customfield1222907:%22Blink%3ELayout%3EInline%22> TAG reviewNone TAG review statusNot applicable Risks Interoperability and Compatibility The initial value of the property `normal` inserts the spacing, and therefore shipping this feature changes the CJK text layout slightly. This has happened when iOS shipped the feature a few years ago for their native apps. Safari 18.4 shipped this property, but with a different initial value from the spec. This is being tracked at https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=287355. *Gecko*: Positive (https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/903 ) *WebKit*: Shipped/Shipping ( https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safari-release-notes/safari-18_4-release-notes#CSS ) *Web developers*: Positive ( https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/my9MyWxa2ns/m/0zIX-8R8AQAJ ) *Other signals*: WebView application risks Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
