In Japanese text, the style of indenting the first character of a paragraph is usually achieved by inserting a full-width space. To change this paragraph style, it's necessary to ignore this full-width space character at the start. A property that enables this is required.
After reviewing several approaches with Fantasai, Mr. Murakami's proposal to add a function to the 'text-indent' property that ignores full-width spaces was deemed good. This is similar to the 'replace' function in text-autospace that ignores spaces between Japanese and Western text.
