Review remaining 5 issues for CSS Text

http://www.w3.org/International/track/products/2

issue-316?

<trackbot> issue-316 -- Line breaking defaults -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/316

richard: would still like a spec change

<r12a> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2014Oct/0165.html

richard: started with us saying uax14 should be referenced
... so there is an interop way of implementing
... we are only asking for this to be the default
... not necessarily full definition
... some are needed for fairly-common scripts
... so falling back to uax14 would be ideal as a start
... and be interop
... little controversy about most
... and browser vendors could extend to cover those characters

addison: support that

koji: require normatively or just informatively (suggest it)?

richard: normatively, unless there is some good reason otherwise (can't think of)
... some characters in tibetan, for example, that don't work
... unless you implement

koji: scrapping existing code to switch to uax14 difficult
... already have informative recommendation
... requiring uax14 too larger
... no idea how much content breaks

richard: uax14 tests mostly pass
... only corner cases or recently added seem to fail
... not many of them

<r12a> http://www.w3.org/International/tests/#css3-text

addison: sort of a SHOULD
... implement typographic conventions and fall back on uax14

koji: browser vendors won't discard whole of what they have

<r12a> http://www.w3.org/International/tests/repository/css3-text/line-break-baspglwj/results-ba#ba_tibetan

koji: uax14 already informatively referenced

richard: think we should ask for normative reference

addison: support

koji: okay either way

<r12a> these tests have been around for a long time, and no movement to fix them is in sight

jck: agree, can ask

<r12a> so i argue that informative isn't working

issue-316: want to ask CSS to make normative, possibly as SHOULD

<trackbot> Notes added to issue-316 Line breaking defaults.

issue-331?

<trackbot> issue-331 -- No kashida style or relationship to styles 'distribute' and 'inter-word' -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/331

richard: can close??
... what is in spec is enough
... don't do "stoopid stuff" with kashida

addison: keep as track for the future?

richard: close and look at in next version?

addison: seems reasonable

<Leandro> no objections

close issue-331

<trackbot> Closed issue-331.

<r12a> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/333

issue-333?

<trackbot> issue-333 -- 'letter-spacing' and Arabic -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/333

richard: basically addressed
... had a suggestion about an example
... but not important
... think we should close

addison: objections?

<Leandro> no objections

close issue-333

<trackbot> Closed issue-333.

issue-334?

<trackbot> issue-334 -- 'letter-spacing' and Indic -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/334

http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/334

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/2014OctDec/0007.html

richard: in indic, some "letters" are two or more grapheme clusters
... definitions of "typographic unit" and "grapheme clsuter" are language/script dependent
... situation is pretty dire in tests I made once away from latin script
... most use glyphs in fonts
... and this makes a mess with stuff such as lam-alef ligature
... some hindi get grouped and other parts spaced away
... pretty random
... don't want to use letter-spacing outside of alphabetics
... might be too far to say "work out on script-by-script basis before trying it"
... want a more sensible approach
... may be useful to add informative sentence
... needs some "out of box thinking"
... think about doing on basis of characters
... and grapheme clusters
... current approach based on glyphs is not right
... may be helpful (informative)
... to say that
... may be worth having text specifically in the letter-spacing section

<koji> http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-text/#propdef-letter-spacing

addison: helpful to have a note there to remind people that "typographic charactere units" are not glyphs

issue-354?

<trackbot> issue-354 -- Questions about letter-spacing for Arabic script -- open

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/354

richard: had questions about details
... fantasai replied
... clarified some of my questions
... was just asking if the clarification could make it into spec
... not normative, just explanatory

addison: write back asking?

richard: think so

<r12a> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/2014OctDec/0010.html

richard: in this email

koji: looking at this, last reply was from fantasai
... can you reply to that thread?

richard: okay

koji: css try to keep track in email
... hard to track otherwise

richard: will do

koji: related
... when tests are created
... wondering how we can share effort?

richard: most i18n tests already in css test suite
... some (letter spacing) are informal, but hope to convert via TTWF
... and submit via github
... have over 100 tests from me
... over 600?

koji: to github?

richard: someone picks up and puts into css systeme
... there is a gap
... my tests are often in css system for a long time
... seems to be a long gap
... after submission
... spoke to WG chair
... some process there?
... waiting on certain spec maturity
... but some like line break are available from spec

AOB?

addison: we have two more thing in agenda

leandro: want more time to look into forms

Locales in Forms

richard: put up test page
... made other changes to the document

AOB?
