Thank you Larry for the feedback. By "typographic styling efforts" do you mean other CSS features? If yes, thank you for pointing that out, I'll look into them for possible relationships with this feature.
When I wrote "other implementations", I meant "other browsers," as they may take different tradeoffs and get different feedback from their users. Sorry for not being clear, but I agree both should be investigated for improving typography more. Thank you.
