Description

text-decoration-skip-spaces allows skipping all spaces, or just leading/trailing spaces. For leading/trailing spaces at least, it probably makes more sense to treat visible word separators as not part of the leading/trailing spaces being skipped.

Relates to https://github.com/w3c/elreq/issues/119

Research direction

Start with the css-text-decor-4 text-decoration-skip-spaces section and read the related w3c/elreq issue 119. Determine whether visible word separators should remain undecorated when only leading or trailing spaces are skipped, then update the relevant specification wording and verify the resulting definition is unambiguous.
