07:06:07 <xfq_> scribe: xfq_
07:06:40 <xfq_> florian: text-spacing controls the spacing between alphanumeric and CJK characters etc.
07:07:02 <xfq_> ... without really changing the behavior we significanlty changed the value
07:07:25 <xfq_> ... the tweak Murakami-san requested was satisfied
07:07:48 <xfq_> ... Apple, which I think is the most interested implementer, was happy with the resolution
07:08:06 <xfq_> ... fantasai, can you remember other things of interest that happend recently?
07:08:13 <fantasai> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-request/issues/205
07:08:17 <xfq_> fantasai: we resolved to publish css-text-3
07:08:26 <xfq_> ... there are only 2 issues
07:08:30 <xfq_> r12a: we saw that
07:08:36 <xfq_> ... we're going to look at that
07:08:44 <xfq_> ... presumably you've listed the chages
07:08:54 <xfq_> s/chages/changes
07:08:58 <xfq_> s/happend/happened
07:09:05 <xfq_> r12a: what's the status for ruby?
07:09:14 <xfq_> florian: nothing happened for a long time
07:09:32 <xfq_> ... we're making sure the w3c have a board, for example
07:10:10 <xfq_> ... I expect to have rapid progress to start working on css ruby and html ruby
07:10:17 <xfq_> ... shouldn't be too hard
07:10:53 <xfq_> r12a: do we have any way of pushing for the implementations of the sideways value?
07:11:11 <xfq_> ... there's no alternative for the moment
07:12:55 <xfq_> fantasai: @@ is a Google employee and is the product manager for Chrome, she can put things on priority for Chrome
07:13:30 <fantasai> nsull
07:13:36 <fantasai> s/@@/Nicole Sullivan/
07:14:04 <xfq_> ... you can talk to her
07:14:36 <xfq_> florian: if they're willing to accept patches, we can look for money to make that happen
07:15:56 <fantasai> Ian Kilpatric is one of the lead layout engineers
07:16:18 <xfq_> florian: maybe dbaron
07:16:23 <fantasai> ikilpatrick@
07:17:30 <xfq_> fantasai: koji would probably responsible for implementing it

07:22:16 <xfq_> fantasai: Alan, who's implementing a bunch of inline layout stuff
07:22:54 <xfq_> r12a: we also came across folks under the banner of Open UI
07:23:13 <xfq_> https://github.com/openui/open-ui/labels/i18n-tracker
07:23:26 <xfq_> r12a: recently, vertical form
07:23:37 <xfq_> florian: they're focused on forms
07:23:44 <xfq_> ... they're focused on the lack of interop
07:23:54 <xfq_> ... surely i18n should interact with them
07:23:56 <fantasai> Murata-san was talking to me about that recently also, saying it's a big problem in Japan
07:24:31 <atsushi> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-japanese/2023JanMar/0022.html (email from Murata-san yesterday)
07:25:00 <r12a> https://r12a.github.io/scripts/jpan/ja.html#interaction
07:25:11 <xfq_> r12a: see ^
07:25:21 <xfq_> ... I have a similar diagram for Chinese and Mongolian
07:25:28 <xfq_> ... change ja to zh and mn
07:25:52 <xfq_> ... this helps people to envisige
07:26:05 <r12a> https://r12a.github.io/scripts/mong/mn.html#interaction
07:26:08 <xfq_> fantasai: there's an example for the spec
07:26:14 <fantasai> https://www.w3.org/TR/css-writing-modes-3/#example-fb72ee40
07:26:30 <xfq_> r12a: in Mongolian everything goes into the opposite direction when it expands
07:27:00 <xfq_> ... on my pages you got buttons, progress bars, etc.
07:27:30 <xfq_> ... there's a few details like the little arrow at the bottom of the select thing in the right direction
07:27:46 <xfq_> Meeting: I18N ⇔ CSS
07:27:52 <xfq_> rrsagent, make minutes
07:27:53 <RRSAgent> I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2023/02/21-i18n-minutes.html xfq_
07:28:09 <xfq_> atsushi: following murata-san's link some japanese people talk about IME interaction
07:28:43 <xfq_> ... no one is sure to which side such kind of box should be placed in vertical writing mode
07:29:12 <fantasai> s/should/the underline should/
07:29:36 <xfq_> ... does similar things exist in Chinese?
07:29:46 <xfq_> xfq_: haven't seen it before
07:29:54 <xfq_> [atsushi shares his screen]
07:30:50 <fantasai> [shows typing into text entry, before the IME composes kanji there is a dotted underline]
07:31:00 <fantasai> [once the text has been converted, the line becomes solid]
07:31:07 <fantasai> [once the text has been accepted, the line disappears]
07:31:16 <xfq_> r12a: I was gonna see if this is an underline you probably want to standardise it, but if this is text input, the person writing it is clear what's going on
07:32:04 <xfq_> florian: the project manager should define that, but I agree with r12a that does not mean it should be standardised
07:32:21 <xfq_> r12a: if it appears on the other side it still works
07:32:33 <fantasai> s/define that/define that for the platform/
07:32:54 <xfq_> florian: we don't have to constrain it, leaving it up to the platform
07:32:54 <xfq_> agenda?
07:33:48 <xfq_> r12a: agenda?
07:33:50 <r12a> Topic: Flow-relative syntax for 'margin'-like shorthands
07:33:52 <xfq_> fantasai: we don't have an update for Flow-relative syntax for 'margin'-like shorthands and Custom property namespacing
07:34:08 <fantasai> text-spacing update (CSSWG minutes) -> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2023Feb/0002.html
07:34:11 <xfq_> florian: that's the thing we didn't have time to get to in our F2F
07:34:37 <xfq_> r12a: there are a lot of things that have a lot of discussions but nothing happens
07:35:04 <xfq_> fantasai: it's gonna take pressure and time before we figure out what really should happen
07:35:45 <xfq_> r12a: we had some proposals about what are the different ways of doing it
07:36:19 <xfq_> florian: at syntax level I don't think we're locked but we need to go through all the properties
07:37:00 <xfq_> r12a: is that large labeling exercise necessary for flow-relative syntax issue?
07:37:17 <xfq_> s/for flow-relative /for the flow-relative
07:38:06 <xfq_> florian: for the general switch between logical/physical the large labeling helps
07:38:32 <xfq_> r12a: was trying to find a quicker way to get the resolution for that particular issue
07:38:55 <xfq_> florian: I think we need to be actively optimistic
07:39:13 <xfq_> r12a: unless we have a plan it won't happen
07:39:33 <xfq_> ... that's quite important
07:39:45 <r12a> Topic: Custom property namespacing
07:40:11 <xfq_> florian: I'm confused as to why it's still on the agenda
07:40:35 <xfq_> ... you need to check if that resolution is enough for you
07:41:02 <xfq_> ... if it's not good, tell us why
07:41:18 <xfq_> Topic: AOB
07:41:23 <xfq_> r12a: any other comments?
07:42:08 <xfq_> fantasai: we expanded on the handling of text spacing to more punctuations, non-CJK punctuations
07:42:52 <xfq_> xfq_: I'll put it on the clreq meeting today
07:43:20 <fantasai> Murakami-san suggested to treat Pi as Ps and Pf as Pe and apply the rules to more than just CJK punctuation
07:43:27 <fantasai> so we updated the text to do that
07:43:37 <xfq_> florian: this text spacing rule around French depends on Unicode, they used to have a page around French punctuation
07:43:42 <xfq_> ... but disappeared
07:43:55 <fantasai> Unicode page that disappeared http://unicode.org/udhr/n/notes_fra.html
07:44:13 <xfq_> ... this is not in the official Unicode standard, but at the Unicode website
07:44:23 <fantasai> more reliable page that we now link to french
07:44:34 <fantasai> http://damien.jullemier.pagesperso-orange.fr/typ/typ-espace-ponctuation.htm
07:44:39 <fantasai> s/french//
07:45:05 <xfq_> r12a: in some scripts the space is built into the font, in some cases it's just a space, it shouldn't be a break opportunity
07:45:15 <xfq_> ... there's a repitition symbol in Thai
07:45:23 <xfq_> ... smaller space than a ordinary space
07:45:30 <xfq_> ... doesn't have the semantics in Unicode
07:46:05 <xfq_> florian: this is interesting, however, do we really want CSS to catch every single languages of the world?
07:46:15 <xfq_> ... what's your suggestion?
07:46:34 <xfq_> r12a: I don't have a suggestion, but if you put rules in French, we shouldn't do just one language
07:46:58 <xfq_> fantasai: I think if there's a TR in W3C i18n or Unicode that would be great
07:47:17 <xfq_> ... you mentioned the danda, the space is in the glyph or typed out
07:47:27 <xfq_> ... it can't be font-dependant
07:48:23 <xfq_> r12a: using the approach we have you can remove spaces and put spacing it but if it's in the glyph we don't know that
07:49:01 <xfq_> florian: I don't think if there's is reliable way to know if it's in the font
07:49:22 <xfq_> fantasai: line break
07:49:50 <xfq_> r12a: it's in a separate category of line breaking
07:50:18 <xfq_> fantasai: I think we should do tests in WPT
07:50:55 <xfq_> r12a: I was just thinking though there may be a gap in the glyph, I don't think that happens a lot, if you use that font, you can choose not to turn autospace on
07:51:12 <xfq_> ... you can use autospace if the font has spacing in it
07:51:24 <xfq_> fantasai: what if a fallback font is chosen?
07:51:58 <xfq_> r12a: Mongolian is the same thing, sometimes it puts a space in the glyph
07:52:10 <xfq_> [florian left]
07:52:34 <xfq_> r12a: anything else we need to discuss?
07:53:03 <xfq_> fantasai: the various language requirement documents, many of them need to be republished
07:53:09 <xfq_> r12a: I'm working on this
07:53:38 <xfq_> ... what I'm currently doing is I'm taking my own information and donating that to the draft
07:55:41 <xfq_> rrsagent, make minutes
