richard: attendee translated to chinese and put on his blog at above link
16:26:50 [addison]
richard: what I said was
16:26:59 [addison]
.... recent member sub is useful to a point
16:27:12 [addison]
... needs maintain
16:27:19 [addison]
... needs more detail and prioritization
16:27:27 [addison]
... so have a roadmap, that'll help css
16:27:36 [addison]
... do it at a lower level than recent sub
16:27:44 [addison]
... which was "vertical works pretty well"
16:27:59 [addison]
... jp community should organize so can pull together and and show pain points
16:28:43 [addison]
richard: interest in doing a course
16:28:48 [addison]
... on bidi
16:28:55 [addison]
... very early heads up
16:29:10 [addison]
agenda?
16:29:43 [addison]
richard: did a bunch of requirements to specdev
16:29:49 [addison]
... vertical text and ruby in more detail
16:29:53 [addison]
... bit about text decoration
16:30:01 [addison]
... largely from ttml
16:31:09 [addison]
zakim, take up agendum 12
16:31:09 [Zakim]
agendum 12. "writing modes" taken up [from addison]
16:32:02 [addison]
richard: summary of chinese experts discuss
16:32:08 [addison]
... and on 3 issues from ttml
16:33:48 [r12a]
For subtitling, no-one has seen vertical-lr, and very little vertical-rl in chinese too.
16:33:49 [r12a]
Straight or wavy lines alongside the text are mostly used for things such as book-title or name highlighting, rather than for emphasis like in Latin-script text underlines. Lines alongside vertical text should appear on the opposite side of items such as emphasis marks, ruby, etc (avoids interference), but most felt that lines (straight or wavy) always appear to the left of the vertical line.
16:33:49 [r12a]
Emphasis marks (eg. dots) by default appear on the left side, but could be right.
16:33:50 [r12a]
Bopomofo ruby always appears on the right side, and pinyin ruby or hanzi ruby normally appear on the right too.
16:33:56 [addison]
richard: summary of discussion above
16:34:58 [addison]
vertical-lr is mainly exceptional
16:35:36 [addison]
richard: mostly used for book titles & name highlighting
16:35:42 [addison]
... jp: right (before) side
16:36:10 [addison]
... in left-to-right lines
16:36:19 [addison]
... one person disagreed or wasn't sure
16:37:46 [addison]
... difference between jp and zh
16:38:06 [addison]
... mongolian on right hand side in vertical and below in horizontal
16:38:38 [addison]
fantasai: have info on jp and ko in spec now but need mongolian
16:38:44 [addison]
richard: thinking of sending issues
16:38:54 [r12a]
https://github.com/w3c/type-samples/issues/55
16:38:58 [addison]
... here's an example from type samples
16:39:13 [r12a]
https://github.com/w3c/type-samples/issues/56
16:39:17 [fantasai]
ohhhhhh, you have a database of type samples????
16:39:20 [fantasai]
I totally have stuff for you
16:39:27 [addison]
richard: here's an example so-called underlining
16:40:05 [RRSAgent]

https://w3c.github.io/type-samples/
16:40:38 [addison]
richard: please to add samples
16:40:56 [addison]
richard: ttml doesn't have a sideways-rl/lr for writing mode
16:41:05 [addison]
... expected text-orientation would do that
16:41:09 [addison]
... explained how css changed
16:41:23 [addison]
... really useful for horizontal scripts, like start and end, line breaks etc
16:41:27 [addison]
... should consider it
16:41:45 [addison]
... instead of rotating the glyphs, rotate the box
16:42:34 [addison]
fantasai: better ergonomics for the author: don't have to set two properties
16:42:42 [addison]
... reduced the number of combinations
16:42:49 [addison]
... that weren't important
16:43:13 [addison]
richard: in ttml it's not handled properly
16:43:31 [fantasai]
correctness wasn't an issue in original Writing Modes; it *was* in XSL:FO, though
16:44:05 [fantasai]
TTML must've been copying XSL:FO model
16:44:38 [addison]
richard: in tblr used default positions
16:44:46 [addison]
... and in mongolian would be wrong
16:45:09 [addison]
... don't think chinese would be right to position ruby et al
16:45:23 [addison]
... wasn't able to convince them
16:45:41 [addison]
... mongolians may feel unhappy
16:45:50 [addison]
... and mongolian is prime issue of tblr
16:45:57 [fantasai]
s/issue/user/
16:45:58 [addison]
... they are putting in a note
16:46:14 [addison]
... don't want to change default
16:46:20 [addison]
... introduce over/under
16:46:31 [fantasai]
s/introduce/could introduce/
16:46:31 [addison]
... maybe in ttml-next
16:46:49 [addison]
... change default for tblr specifically

16:47:27 [addison]
richard: want to know about sideways-*
16:47:41 [addison]
... at risk might not get impls
16:47:49 [addison]
... could be deferred to level 4
16:47:57 [addison]
fantasai: chrome planning to work on it
16:48:02 [addison]
... in next year or two??
16:48:16 [addison]
... jp wants writing modes asap
16:48:35 [addison]
... defer sideways into a level 4
16:48:40 [addison]
... but chrome would not defer
16:48:53 [addison]
richard: bidi folks want for arabic
16:49:04 [addison]
s/bidi folks/arabic layout folks/
16:49:17 [addison]
fantasai: as soon as implemented go to rec
16:49:38 [addison]
richard: preceded css, just a timing of introduction
16:50:05 [addison]
fantasai: will publish forked off level 3 without that section
16:50:16 [addison]
... some process question about can we go direct to CR
16:50:29 [addison]
... but looking to get sideways-* asap to cr
16:50:36 [addison]
richard: no plans to change it
16:50:42 [addison]
... way forward for ttml
16:50:54 [addison]

16:51:28 [Zakim]
agendum 10. "Accept WHATWG change to restrictions on bidi" taken up [from addison]
16:51:45 [addison]
richard: whatwg stripped out checking for unpaired unicode bidi controls
16:51:52 [addison]
... because things not checking correctly
16:51:57 [addison]
... to complicated for them to understand
16:52:06 [addison]
... actioned to ask aharon and mati
16:52:11 [addison]
