Additional Requirements for Bidi in HTML & CSS published as Working Group Note

Additional Requirements for Bidi in HTML & CSS was used to work through and communicate recommendations made to the HTML and CSS Working Groups for some of the most repetitive pain points prior to HTML5 and CSS3 for people working with bidirectional text in scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew, Thaana, etc.

It is being published now as a Working Group Note for the historical record in order to capture some of the thinking that lay behind the evolution of the specifications and to help people in the future working on bidi issues to understand the history of the decisions taken. Notes have been added to give a brief summary of what was actually implemented in the HTML or CSS specifications.
