Description
word-boundary-expansion is currently about expanding spaces in CJK, but it could be used more generically, e.g. to swap between spaces and Ethiopic spaces in Ethiopic. Can we rename this property to work better for other use cases?
Proposed name: word-boundary-transform, hooks in nicely with text-transform.
(I also am not a huge fan of the word-boundary part but I don't have a great idea. Maybe word-space-transform? word-splitter-transform? Idk.)
