   Passcode: 259641

   addison: conversation continued yesterday, see note. MathML,
   CSS issues

   addison: longest conversation was on generic fonts
   … asked us to come back to say on different generics via gap
   analysis
   … we are asked to guide addisions, and guidelines for adding
   new generics
   … associating new generics to existing ones
   … goal is to collect generic classes in different area
   … second part is how those map to five generics
   … like Nastaliq is not sans-serif, or so

   r12a: you are talking about long discussions, we held

   addison: we list personal names' examples in block
   … discussed that making sortable table, completing notes, and
   language tags
   … question to ask people to contribute or not

   r12a: thinking, we are picking names from various regions, but
   not sure whether to indicate as region but as country

   addison: richard you wanted to add some text for TBDs
   … do we have some plan to build text for those?

   r12a: got a detailed plan, step 1 someone write text, step 2 we
   review, step 3 we publish!

   r12a: remember this is for spec developers
   … also if you click links, you will see several review comments
   and what things to do or taken

   addison: should we build backlog for people can check, or?

   r12a: we could, but in sense of spec-dev, people can take from
   contents. there are already pipelines

   addison: when we read as a block, you will notice the gaps
   … sometimes we do on mustard, but sometimes don't

   r12a: we have somewhere, in some cases but not all. we should
   have here and also links
   … brief description is necessity, for reading these

   addison: review comment for secure-payment-confirmation here, I
   don't think spec-dev doesn't say anything relates to this

   r12a: not everything we need to create text for specdev

   addison: on review, we have new action to tag each issue
   … on some level, I would expect to have a policy what to write

   xfq: I can look into some text, after finishing the whitespace
   stuff

   r12a: better to have more people than you and me
   … if you review something, and there is nothing in specdev, one
   should propose something to specdev

   addison: one proposal, if one review and found nothing within
   label, one propose some text?

   r12a: there are TBC label

   r12a: if you choose t: label, you will see section number and
   title
   … TBC is not sure which section is related, x is not in specdev
   … like bidi_x

   r12a: i: is index
   … those labels relate to index, t: labels are for specdev.
   there should be some documentation.

  CSS #775

   [54]https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/775

     [54] https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/775

   florian: Issue CSS#775 waiting for an answer

   fantasai: The comment in the issue is a good summary.

   addison: So it is trying to shrink bopo, but nut pinyin?

   florian: Shrinking 50% OK for kana. For pinyin, may also depend
   on the font.

   addison: So the language tag is a proxy for determining if it
   is bopo or pinyin?

   fantasai: Yes, we have no other information.

   florian: May make for verbose markup with all the lang tags,
   but it is the right thing to do.
   … Question is not if this captures everything, but if it is the
   right default.

   r12a: I was concerned about applying the sizing to the
   bopomofo. The bopomofo can be in the same position as kana or
   pinyin, but usually it is along the side.
   … You can set CSS properties to do that.
   … So is the 30% right in that case?

   florian: You cannot have a CSS property depend on the value of
   another property.

   addison: What if you remove the 30% rule?

   florian: Then the bopomofo size would be wrong.

   r12a: You need something different for bopomofo to get the
   position correct.

   florian: You can have three characters bopomofo ruby, and then
   50% won't fit.
   … We are trying to say ruby in general sizes to 50%, but when
   it is bopomofo size to 30%.
   … For the default; author can always change it.
   … Size works, no matter what side of the base the ruby is
   displayed on.

   r12a: Inter-character layout is very specific.
   … And is the 30% instead of 33% to leave room for tone?

   <fantasai> [55]https://language.moe.gov.tw/001/Upload/files/
   SITE_CONTENT/M0001/deploy/html_en/index.html

     [55] https://language.moe.gov.tw/001/Upload/files/SITE_CONTENT/M0001/deploy/html_en/index.html

   fantasai: Comes from ministerial recommendations for size
   ratios.
   … See document from Taiwan ^^

   florian: clreq has the same.

   addison: OK, so the size is right. Now how do know a text is
   bopomofo?

   florian: Hong-Kong vs Taiwan.

   r12a: This is about the size. Isn't the centering also an
   issue?
   … Because bopomofo isn't vertically centered, according to the
   Taiwan document. At least in inter-character. But bopomofo is
   rarely in other positions.

   fantasai: Language tag matching is according to RFC. Subtag
   order does not matter.

   addison: But if you do prefix matching...

   fantasai: Browsers are supposed to apply the RFC 4347 algo.

   addison: So if tw is not in the subtags, the pinyin may end up
   small.

   florian: We might specify ‘not hk’.
   … Smaller size may be harder to read.

   David-Clarke: So, accessibility issues.

   florian: So better to miss some cases than apply too much.

   fantasai: Require language tags: Is there a way to express that
   a document is in a mix of scripts?

   addison: There is ‘hanb’

   [56]http://unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.html

     [56] http://unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.html

   addison: For Han with Bopomofo.

   florian: That's perfect.

   addison: ‘Perfect’ not the word I was thinking of....

   florian: But perfect for this situation.
   … So I think we add zh-hanb.

   r12a: Looking at the Taiwan document, the pictures are
   different. Figuring out the sizing...

   florian: There are some 9's and some 8's, while clreq only has
   9's in the ratios.
   … 9/30 in clreq, and 8/30 in the Taiwan document some of the
   time.

   r12a: About half of the time.

   fantasai: zh-hanb is now added in the CSS Ruby spec.

   florian: I think the 8 or 9 is fine, it is always 9, but some
   fonts may have non-square, 8x9 characters.
   … So size is correct, though positioning may be a problem.

   fantasai: So OK for square and portrait characters. Landscape
   characters a problem.

   addison: OK, sounds reasonable. As a default.

   addison: OK, so shall we turn to the centering issue?

   florian and fantasai discuss the process for the CSS WG to
   approve the issue.

   fantasai: issue #771

   [57]https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/771#

     [57] https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/771

   fantasai: Issue was focused on latin text, should we have a
   separate issue for Chinese?

   [58]https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/779

     [58] https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/779

   florian: Issue #779

   florian: Bopomofo is not exactly centered, but close.

   <fantasai> [59]https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/
   771#issuecomment-1182339573

     [59] https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/771#issuecomment-1182339573

   fantasai: in #771, the proposal is to have a separate
   justification algo for ruby.
   … It says spaces are not a justification opportunity.
   … We can say Bopomofo doesn't have justification opportunities.

   florian: The removal of justification opportunity effectively
   results in centering, which for bopomofo is almost right.

   fantasai: The 'auto' value can do this.
   … Without justification opportinuties, it falls back to
   centering.

   addison: Seems reasonable...

   r12a: Yes, reasonable. But:
   … Need to be clear that is an approximate kludge.

   florian: If we would specify 'center', it would also be wrong
   in the same way.
   … For the difference between centering and actual bopomofo
   layout, you would need dedicated engines in any case.

   fantasai: So we are adding a justification mode, which removes
   justification opportunities from bopomofo. As it is an 'auto'
   value, implementers can do better, but that may take a while to
   happen.
   … We need to bring this to the CSS WG.

   florian: I have added a corresponding tag to the issue.

   fantasai: And I will add the conclusion in the issue.

   addison: Do you want us to review?

   florian: We can ping you when it is ready for review.

   addison: Tracking in issue #779, rather than #771.

   [60]https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7055

     [60] https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7055

   <florian> [61]https://www.w3.org/TR/
   css-text-4/#text-spacing-property

     [61] https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-4/#text-spacing-property

   florian: The diff between allow-end and trim-end is whether you
   trim the white part of punctuation if it appears at the end of
   the line.
   … allow-end may lead to ragged right appearance.

   r12a: It doesn't depend on justification..

   addison: So the issue is about the default behavior.

   florian: Yes, and the argument in the issue to use trim-end
   seems reasonable.
   … So, the i18n wg recommends to accept the proposal?

   addison: I don't see any harm in making it the default.

   r12a: Yes, I already agreed in a comment in the issue.

   fantasai: So seems the conclusion is to close the issue ^^ with
   no change?

   florian: That seems to be the conclusion in the corresponding
   clreq issue.

   fantasai: OK will do.

   fantasai: Seems there is a preference for turning on
   auto-spacing by default. Separate question is compatibility
   with browsers.
   … Chinese suggestion is 1/8 em, Japanese suggestion is 1/4 to
   1/6 em.

   florian: Precise size can be an issue in layout of a button or
   menu. So my suspicion is that there are pages that break when
   auto spacing is on by default.

   fantasai: So spacing is preferable, if it is compatible. Other
   question is what the default size is, 1/8? 1/6? Or depending on
   language?

   atsushi: From jlreq perspective, 1/6 em comes from traditional
   spacing. Research exists that sizeof spacing between
   ideographic and alphanum
   … in jlreq consensus that some spacing is better than nothing.

   fantasai: So 1/8 is probably the least intrusive change then.

   florian: Is is user-selectable?

   <r12a> [68]https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7183

     [68] https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7183

   fantasai: Not currently, but we should make it so.

   florian: As it is not implemented yet, seems better to keep it
   simple for now.

   r12a: It is implemented in IE, and MS Word does it.

   florian: Yes, and other programs, but question is about CSS and
   browsers.

   fantasai: MS Word also has to be compatible with practice in
   the 90s. Need research of current practice.

   florian: Would be good to have a conclusion from i18n that some
   spacing is desirable, and exact size is to be researched.

   addison: That seems not controversial. If compatible.
   … And you would do research what sophisticated layout engines
   do today.

   florian: I think the Japanese 1/4 comes from when that was
   simple to do in typesetting.

   addison: What at boundary between ideographs and, say arabic?

   r12a: Or Thai?

   florian: Latin is by far the most common.

   fantasai: I suspect it is for everything that is not
   ideographs. That is what the spec says now.

   addison: emojis?

   florian: They are neither letters nor numerals.

   fantasai: So conclusion: spacing between 1/8 and 1/6 em,
   depending on further research.
   … Other question is what to do if there is already space in the
   source.
   … Throw it away and put in the 1/8em?
   … And would it be web-compatible if we *only* did that?

   <r12a> [69]https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7183

     [69] https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7183

   r12a: That would only shrink the text somewhat, so not as
   dangerous for buttons and menus, as Florian mentioned.

   r12a: That is also a part of my issue ^^

   r12a: Auto-spacing is bound to get a lot more complicated, when
   we get to other languages.
   … E.g., the vertical bar that ends a sentence.
   … Some people put a space before it, size can differ.
   … And some traditions have a lot more space after than before
   the symbol.

   florian: For French, practice differs. There are rules, but
   some authors ignore it, some put a normal space because it is
   hard to get the right one...

   fantasai: But if you turn the property on explicitly, you get
   what you want.

  CSS 5478

   About which quote characters to select when a quote is in a
   different language from the surrounding text.

   fantasai: I already have an action for that. Can try to work on
   it on...

   r12a: It is part of the gap analysis documents.

   fantasai: Seems it was checked in for Gecko already.

   r12a: And the issue talks about Chromium. Is webkit doing it?

   fantasai: Seems Chrome was updated also.

   r12a: OK, I need to run my tests again.
   … That will change the color of a large percentage of my
   language-enablement matrix.

   addison: So it will be the tipping point and we can say the web
   is now internationalized :-)

   fantasai: There was a proposal to use 'margin' as shorthand for
   physical, and 'marginS' as shorthand property for logical.

   addison: There could be a switch in the style sheet to switch
   between physical and logical. Is that a good summary of what we
   said?
   … In other words, once all physical properties have a logical
   equivalent, there could be a switch to turn all shorthands into
   logical shorthands.

   fantasai: A switch at syntax level, but only for the
   shorthands. 'Margin-left' would still be left, but 'margin'
   would affect the logical properties.

   r12a: I believe Chrome has a flag.
   … I'll send you the article I've written, which talks about
   ':dir(rtl)'

   fantasai: Send me an email, otherwise I'll forget to look at
   it.

   addison: Next meeting is Thursday. I'll have a meeting with Ian
   [on Web Payments] and I'll report on that.

   atsushi: What is the zoom for Thursday?

   addison: The one we use for the regular telcons.
   … I'll send the agenda tonight, probably.

   things about tagging old languages.

   David-Clarke_: Like Shakespearian English?
   … And they do teach Latin on Duolingo.
   … I studied some old Japanese, and the professor explained how
   they knew the pronunciation has changed.
   … E.g., Japanese ‘oh’ which once was ‘woh’.
