CSS3 Text Decoration spec adds new properties that implement new text decoration styling features such as lines, color, and style. This feature adds support for 'left' and 'right' values of the 'text-underline-position' property. The property itself shipped in Chrome 57. Currently, in vertical flow for Chinese and Japanese, which side the underline appears on is not the same across browsers. This enhancement fixes that.
