How to start this meeting without r12a

<scribe> scribenick: addison

fantasai: disposition of comments waiting on i18n
... some closed, handful open
... only ones left

<fantasai> https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-decor-3/issues-cr-2013#issue-16

<fantasai> https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/839

fantasai: sometimes author wants emphasis dots on punctuation
... but then have to have a way to exclude
... in L4 add property to control what to skip
... right now only skips spaces
... reconsider?

<r12a> https://w3c.github.io/jlreq/gap-analysis/index.html#emphasis

<r12a> https://w3c.github.io/jlreq/#composition_of_emphasis_dots

<fantasai> addison: Try to do what authors want, and special cases are handled as special cases

<fantasai> JcK: mis-use of these marks is another issue

<r12a> "In practice, emphasis dots are not used for commas (cl-07), full stops (cl-06), opening brackets (cl-01) or closing brackets (cl-02)."

<fantasai> JcK: CSS use of emphasis marks could be spoofing

<fantasai> r12a: Back to the topic

<fantasai> r12a: Question is what should the default be?

<fantasai> r12a: Should be what you expect to happen, and JLREQ says skip punctuation

<JcK> @fantasai: It would be closer to my comment to say that CSS can be used in a variety of ways for spoofing (and other ways to cause user confusion). Emphasis marks are just one more case (as you pointed out)

<fantasai> r12a: I can't see any reason why you'd want to emphasize punctuation

<fantasai> addison: issue is if L4 doesn't happen soon, then no way to emphasize punctuation. Don't know why you'd want to do that, but can't do it

<fantasai> addison: making default skip means everyone gets best practice

addison to update issue 839

<fantasai> https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-decor-3/issues-cr-2013#issue-17

<fantasai> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2016Dec/0118.html

<fantasai> r12a: Korean and Japanese use the right side by default. Chinese uses the left side.

<fantasai> https://www.w3.org/TR/clreq/

<fantasai> search for "emphasis"

<fantasai> “whereas in vertical writing mode, they are usually placed to the right side of the characters”

<fantasai> https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-decor-3/issues-cr-2013#issue-18

<r12a> clreq says: "Emphasis dots are symbols placed above or beneath characters to emphasize the text, strengthen the tone, or avoid ambiguity. For horizontal writing mode, the emphasis dots are placed under the characters, whereas in vertical writing mode, they are usually placed to the right side of the characters"
