Greek text: ήσουν ή εγώ ή εσύ ΗΣΟΥΝ Ή ΕΓΩ Ή ΕΣΥ

Greek text: ήσουν ή εγώ ή εσύ ΗΣΟΥΝ Ή ΕΓΩ Ή ΕΣΥ

- a disjunctive eta in a Greek sentence keeps its tonos diacritic

This behaviour is now interoperable across WebKit, Gecko, and Blink browsers.

This is only a start, since other browsers don't support this CSS yet, and Safari still doesn't support the 'replace' value. However, this is the kind of property that you can apply to all text now, and as browsers improve it will make the text look better.
