Topic: Discuss guidance about bidi
Richard noted:

Several things are unclear to me here, and rather than provide text suggestions that may be barking up the wrong tree, we should perhaps discuss during our telecon. Questions include:

  • do you mean bidrectional text or text that generally runs in a particular direction (eg. RTL)? i suspect, but i'm not sure, that we are talking solely about strings that contain bidirectional text within them, or about correctly displaying any string that is inserted into a target location by the consumer?
  • if the latter, we're focusing on what producers need to do, we should mention dirname or using other metadata
    Basically, i think we need a little more clarity about the role of producers vs consumers, and in-string direction vs how a string will be inserted into a target location. It seems a little vague at the moment. The section title, Concatenation of Strings, doesn't make it sound like we're concerned with string internal direction, but rather strings being inserted into the target location. The example shows one scenario that fits the section title, but the preceding text needs to be clearer before we get to the example, and needs to clarify whether we are also talking about string-internals.

This refers to the prose found in the new "string concatenation" section here
