Summary

Updates the CSS syntax for the CSS white-space and text-wrap properties to match the spec and other browsers. Blink changed the CSS white-space property in crbug.com/40257360, shipped in M114. The CSS white-space and text-wrap properties have changed since then, and other browsers are shipping the new behavior. This feature makes Blink match the new spec and other browsers.

Motivation

This feature improves the interoperability with other browsers, as both Gecko and WebKit are shipping the new syntax.
