Updated Requirements for Japanese Text Layout Draft Published

W3C has published a second version of Requirements for Japanese Text Layout, which describes requirements for general Japanese layout realized with technologies like CSS, SVG, XSL-FO and eBook standards. The document is mainly based on a standard for Japanese layout, JIS X 4051, however, it also addresses areas which are not covered by JIS X 4051. This second version of the document contains a significant amount of additional information related to hanmen design, such as handling headings, placement of illustrations and tables, handling of notes and reference marks, etc. This document was developed by participants in the Japanese Layout Task Force, with input from four W3C Working Groups: CSS, Internationalization Core, SVG and XSL. A Japanese version is also available.
