Description
https://www.w3.org/TR/clreq/#h-adjustment_of_adjacent_punctuation_marks
In principle, any two adjacent punctuation marks that are 2 em wide should be reduced to 1.5 em. Following the same principle, they may be reduced to 1 em for certain typographic styles.
Suggestion from @r12a (in order to avoid ambiguity):
In principle, any two adjacent punctuation marks that together are 2 em wide should be reduced to 1.5 em. Following the same principle, they may be reduced to 1 em for certain typographic styles.
