Overview text-transform: full-size-kana must not affect speech output. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load testcase: https://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?%3C!DOCTYPE%20html%3E%0A%3Cstrong%20style%3D%22text-transform%3A%20full-size-kana%22%3Eじゅう%3C%2Fstrong%3E%20must%20read%20the%20same%20as%20じゅう%20not%20じゆう%20(but%20look%20like%20じゆう%20not%20じゅう)%20.%3Cbr%3E%0A%3Cstrong%20style%3D%22text-transform%3A%20full-size-kana%22%3E%20カップ%20%3C%2Fstrong%3E%20must%20read%20the%20same%20as%20カップ%20not%20カツプ%20(but%20look%20like%20カツプ%20not%20カップ)%20.%0A 2. Verify that 'text-transform: full-size-kana' is supported by comparing the visual rendering. 3. Use VoiceOver to compare the speech rendering. Additional Information: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-3/#text-transform-property Note that the mapping in the Small Kana Mapping Table is not a case mapping. These are different letters (with related, but different pronunciations) that happen to look similar. See examples in spec.

From some discussion with Elika, this might need to be limited to ruby, or at a minimum, we’d need test cases to make sure the other values (like text-transform: uppercase) were not affected by the change. Note that I’m still unclear as to why text-transform would be used in a way that affects the core meaning of the text, so perhaps we should discuss or require addition information before the change.

`full-width` should also get the same treatment (use underlying untransformed text for AT), fwiw.
I disagree about `full-width`... That's mostly likely an AT bug in automatic language detection; the characters are unambiguous, but the AT is choosing the wrong voice language. Filed <rdar://133412477> for that. I'll also file a CSS spec issue for the "casing for accessibility" note, because it doesn't take into account the spacing context we discussed for AT like HoverText where rendered `full-width` chars would be expected.
