I like the truth in advertising there.  ;)

I'd just like to reiterate my (longstanding, so unlikely to sway anyone) 
opinion that run-in, even in this "less insane" incarnation, introduces 
an amount of complexity to both specification and implementation that is 
wholly disproportionate to its value as a feature.  It will complicate 
attempts to add other, much higher value, features to CSS, again both in 
terms of specification and implementation.  I think we would be better 
off not adding this feature.

P.S.  I don't see much point filing this as a github issue, since this 
really isn't the sort of comment that lends itself to discussion on 
github.  And again, I don't expect this mail to actually change 
anything.  But I felt like I had to try one last time...
