Fine grained typography control

[stubbornella]

Description

Developers would like to remove the vertical space appearing above and below text glyphs, allowing more precise positioning and alignment. And also, to allow the container to trim the margins of its children where they adjoin the container's edges.
This proposal includes text-box-trim, text-box-edge, margin-trim, hanging punctuation, text-decoration shorthand, word-break, line-break, sideways-lr + sideways-rl, text-wrap-mode + text-wrap: stable + text-wrap-style.

Given that the process allow combining multiple proposals into one focus area would it be possible to restrict this proposal to anything that isn't in one of the other focus areas Eric identified?

This was a proposal for a focus area rather than individual properties, I think it could be good to have this be the umbrella, but I'm open to other solutions.

Ah! Having this as an umbrella/bucket/group does make sense, and I support the idea. My apologies; both the individual things and the groups are tagged 'focus-area-proposal' so I didn’t pick up the distinction here.
