Eric: 首/尾 should be used

xfq: I'll work on a PR for this issue

https://github.com/w3c/clreq/issues/505

Eric: The current text is not very good

Eric: How should we update it?

Eric: We have no way to count Mainland China or Hong Kong publications

Zhengyu: "ancient publications" are not well defined

"As with book title mark type A (wavy low lines), proper noun marks are rarely used in modern publications, but they can still be seen in some textbooks and ancient publications"

huijing: We can simply remove this sentence ^
… it is of little value

"Book title mark type A is rarely used in modern publications, but can still be seen in some textbooks and ancient publications."

Eric: this sentence should also be removed ^

huijing: agreed
… I'll send a PR

Eric: please reply to the issue

https://github.com/w3c/clreq/issues/502

xfq: we need more figures for text decoration

Eric: please assign it to me

https://github.com/w3c/clreq/issues/500

[xfq introduces the issue]

Zhengyu: bottom to top has a disadvantage

Zhengyu: If there is vertical scrolling, it is possible to not be able to see how much progress on the current viewport

Zhengyu: it may appear below the fold

xfq: agreed

Eric: agreed

huijing: agreed
… although in the current Firefox it is bottom to top
… I think it should follow the direction of the text

Zhengyu: I think there is no absolute right or wrong answer

Zhengyu: everyone's feelings are different

Zhengyu: Some people think it should be consistent with the direction of the text

Zhengyu: some people think it should be consistent with the earth's gravity and thermometer

huijing: I find it unnatural to be inconsistent with the text direction

huijing: So our consensus is it should be top to bottom

huijing: we can discuss with the HTML folks

Eric: agreed

huijing: I'll reply to the issue

Related issue in jlreq: https://github.com/w3c/jlreq/issues/342

Zhengyu: Firefox may refer to the opinions of Japanese experts

huijing: it would be ideal if the direction can be controlled with CSS

Zhengyu: I agree, but we're discussing the default direction
