[css-text-4] is text-autospace: auto missing?

[vitorroriz]

At https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-4/#text-spacing-property
we have the description for the shorthand text-spacing: auto:

Sets both text-spacing-trim and text-autospace to auto.

I've got confused because text-spacing-trim has a description for 'auto' but text-autospace doesn't.

Also, text-autospace: none seems simpler than text-autospace: no-autospace (none is much more common).

Forgive me for this aside but this issue seems to be the first related to text-autospace since its introduction, so I thought it may be only another minor oversight.

@vitorroriz Thanks for reporting that, I believe it was an oversight from when we split text-spacing out into longhands. Should be fixed in the ED now. :)

@cdoublev I think that question is a bit more complicated, because it affects shorthanding. We want text-spacing: none to turn off both text-autospace and text-spacing-trim, but there should also be a keyword in the shorthand to turn off text-autospace without touching text-spacing-trim. So maybe it's worth filing a separate issue?

Oh I had not seen that. I am fine with text-autospace: no-autospace, even if the redundancy surprised me instantly. I guess it is not worse than forcing the author to declare text-spacing: none space-all.
