how do you implement the second case? you only get letter kerning 
between 2 characters if you send both of them to the text shaping 
together, but you can't do that if they have different formatting or a 
different font, which may well be the case between styleA and styleB.

in LO Writer, the only text-properties attribute that *doesn't* prevent 
kerning at span breaks is the dreaded officeooo:rsid extension, and that 
was a pain to implement...
