Some other CSS3 that's even older has already been implemented, why wait
longer?
As long as if the recommendation changes (which it probably won't in regard to
glyphs as there are NO comments on it so far) we update WebKit to match, i
don't see a problem. WebKit already uses stuff like CSS3 Backgrounds which are
WD so should be fine.

I've just done a quick check now, and it doesn't seem that other browsers
support it (tested FF 3.5, IE 8) but that shouldn't stop us, as it won't ruin
the default behaviour only improve support where specified.

I've recommended webkit-text-security be updated as well as the current code
references the glyphs from the text-security module as they are used there as
well, so doing so for these new glyphs allows for code to be re-used and
similar to existing code, and also gives new webkit-specific features in terms
of new symbols (can't hurt).

I thought that this should be a realitivly simple task as most code can be
copied and renamed, but I couldn't find where they were set in text-security so
I couldn't create a patch. (ergo the bug report / feature request).

(Also I've got no idea how to make testcases so I'd thought I'd leave it to the
experts)
