Description
https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-4/#valdef-text-autospace-punctuation
In this level, if the element’s content language is French, narrow no-break space (U+202F) and no-break space (U+00A0) is inserted where required by French typographic guidelines.
Canadian French is not mentioned in the link and the rules are different for Canadian French. There’s no extra space before question marks, exclamation marks, and semicolons, for example. We should probably need to add spaces depending on the region.
