Steps to reproduce:
Authors commonly want to add a text-indent on each paragraph of their writing.
(This is natural to anyone who composes documents in a page-based text editor)
To achieve this stylistic result, authors currently have to insert HTML code to delineate their paragraphs.
An author will, for example, write:
HTML
<article id=container>
<p>First paragraph ...</p>
<p>Second paragraph ...</p>
<p>Third paragraph ...</p>
</article>
CSS
p {text-indent: 2em;}
This unnecessarily pollutes the DOM with excess elements. Authors rarely plan to style each paragraph individually (beyond the current limitation of text-indent).
But, with text-indent: each-line implemented, an author could write the much simpler:
<article id=container>
First paragraph <br>
Second paragraph <br>
Third paragraph <br>
</article>
article {text-indent: 2em each-line}
Of course, if there is a practical reason to denote each paragraphs' start /end (JavaScript manipulation, linking through ids etc), the old way of adding markup would still be valid. But this is usually the exception, not the rule.

There's also `text-indent: (value) hanging` and the combination of both. This bug should probably cover both as they are supplementary.

According to comment 3 the title of this issue should probably be changed to include 'hanging'.
