Overall I think it sounds very complicated... and I'm not convinced
it'll work that great in practice. Wouldn't it make more sense to
be able to have a kerning value for the start/end of the line and
to have a switch to just turn that on? That way the font designer
can do full-on optical alignment, which is the goal in Western
hanging punctuation anyway.

(CJK punctuation has a grid it needs to adhere to, so it doesn't
want partial values like this--that's why it needs a separate
switch.)
