Apology for not being familiar with W3C CSS working group nomenclature.  I will
leave taxonomy to the experts and limit myself to express feature requests. 
Bug 103997 got me thinking.  My original request was for a simple small change
to the existing UI, but if bug 103997 is to be marked as duplicate, and I agree
it is for reasons I wrote on that thread, then the request in this bug has to
be fleshed out.  My 2 cents below.

USE CASE: there are many different creative ways to draw attention to the start
of a paragraph.  Users will eventually think of new ways and a good
implementation of currently popular ways of making the start of a paragraph
stand out will allow for future development (3D printing anyone?).

IMPLEMENTATION:
(a) flexible definition of what is the first part of the paragraph
(b) incremental implementation of stand-out features


(a) DEFINITION OF THE FIRST PART OF THE PARAGRAPH
- letter: first number of letters (1->n)
- word: first number of words (1->n)

(b) STAND-OUT FEATURES
- STYLE
- HEIGHT, as the number of lines (my original request was just to allow for
HEIGHT=1)
- SPACING, as three choice: punch below, punch above, white space above (this
will cover the requests in bug 103997)

Most important: leave this open to creative ideas of other ways to make the
beginning of a paragraph stand out.  A graphic image?  A lookup into a sequence
of graphic images based on the letter of the alphabet with which the paragraph
starts?
