From the spec discussion, it appears that other engines would like to change text-autospace's initial value to normal sometime in the future.

For Firefox, we could revert bug 1987997 (https://hg-edge.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/0b6bc1eddae0) to align our behavior with the spec.

Timeline-wise -- depending on the perf impact, we may want to wait until at least one other implementer is ready to make the same change, so that we're not uniquely taking the performance hit[1] on this.
