Xidorn, yes, you're right.
The implementation plan is to only implement initial-letter property for
:first-letter, just like what Safari did at present.
As to shipping criteria, like David said in [1], it depends whether
supporting inlines as well is a lot of extra work.
I do plan to mention the shipping detail in another "intent to ship" when I
finish most of the implementation.
I guess it would be no harm to mention the plan in this thread as well.
Thank you for the pointers. :-)
