Description

https://drafts.csswg.org/css-inline/#valdef-initial-letters-integer "Values less than one are invalid. "

FYI, here's an initial letter style from a printed magazine "The Guardian Weekly" vol.200 No.8: img_1130 which appears to use something like initial-letter:15 0. Is this use case something that the spec should address?
