Section 7.3 of the CSS3 Text spec details a property that effectively controls kerning on a small subset of CJK punctuation characters: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-text/#punctuation-trim I don't quite see the necessity of of an author level property to control this unless it's something that is really controlled at an author level stylistically. In fact, supporting this in a browser that uses an OpenType layout engine would effectively require *undoing* layout based kerning information contained in fonts, especially since the default is 'none'. I think it would be better omit this property and let the text layout engine handle this in conjuction with well-designed fonts. John Daggett
