... in depth talk about NNBSP and MVS
14:17:01 [aphillip]
... spoke to PLH last week
14:17:20 [aphillip]
... okay to go ahead with Arabic Layout Requirements and Ethiopic Layout Requirements chartering
14:17:32 [aphillip]
richard: spent time merging chinese and english versions of clreq
14:17:41 [aphillip]
... much easier to manage them as a single document
14:17:53 [aphillip]
... just a few more additional translation
14:17:59 [aphillip]
... and a couple of text issues
14:18:02 [aphillip]
... then FPWD
14:18:15 [aphillip]
addison: next week-ish?
14:18:28 [aphillip]
richard: hope so, but depends on translators
14:19:02 [aphillip]
richard: PLH recommends doing more publicity around layout requirements
14:19:07 [aphillip]
... such as making a page about it
14:19:36 [aphillip]
richard: published update to klreq (last week)
14:20:25 [aphillip]

14:21:36 [aphillip]

14:22:08 [aphillip]
... to cater to latin languages
14:22:28 [aphillip]
addison: like german titles on book spine?
14:22:34 [aphillip]
richard: yes, or in a table, that sort of thing
14:23:00 [aphillip]

richard: "this is how you're supposed to achieve it"
14:24:01 [aphillip]
... with a "this is how to actually achieve in different browsers"
14:24:05 [aphillip]
... subtle difference
14:24:08 [aphillip]
... but worthwhile
14:24:27 [aphillip]
richard: bidi: no implementations so far on @dir
14:24:38 [aphillip]
... worth chasing implementers?
14:27:45 [JcK]
Thanks for adding docs to tracker -- I'm unlikely to have time to track that WG closely.
14:28:03 [JcK]
And I have no idea what is going on with Webex, much less why it is a good idea.

14:35:57 [aphillip]
richard: this is an attempt to step back
14:36:07 [aphillip]
... when we reviewed CSV
14:36:17 [aphillip]
... inquiries about json, webvtt
14:36:22 [aphillip]
... maybe notifications
14:36:36 [aphillip]
... lots of plain text format not containing html/xml markup
14:36:45 [aphillip]

... would quite like feedback
14:37:44 [aphillip]
... some from mati and najib
14:38:31 [aphillip]
richard: looking for comments, on right track, things missing, etc
14:39:34 [aphillip]
najib: sent email about plain text
14:39:47 [aphillip]
... json or csv are not like normal text
14:39:57 [aphillip]
... could be considered different
14:40:04 [aphillip]
... could be read or edited
14:40:11 [aphillip]
... in logical order rather than visual order
14:40:42 [aphillip]
... make bidi disabled you can edit easily
14:41:03 [aphillip]
richard: how often do you find editors that can disable bidi?
14:41:20 [aphillip]
... you're able to disable bidi. is that something people do commonly?
14:42:04 [aphillip]
najib: specific editors don't have bidi
14:42:14 [aphillip]
richard: do many people use editors without bidi support?
14:42:39 [aphillip]
najib: most don't use source file editors, use visual order
14:42:58 [aphillip]
... not many edit source text
14:43:04 [JcK]
@Richard: slightly different answer: there are a lot of editors out there that do have bibi support but whose support falls far short of our or UTC's standards
14:43:26 [aphillip]
... most in my region who produce bidi text choose like wordpress to produce content
