>From the teleconf: Not normatively requiring UAX14 is intentional, because the rules are not only complex, but also not ideal. They are a good baseline, but not necessarily something that must be followed to the letter. The argument against inlining into our spec some simplified statements like the one I proposed is that including such rules would be a significant scope increase to css-text, and not one we are well equipped to handled. However, the spec does have a requirement that customary line breaking rules be followed. This is vague, but it is normative, and by group consensus can be used to justify certain obvious line breaking behaviors in tests, even if they are not explicitly spelled out individually in the spec. For instance, this is sufficient to expect wrapping opportunities between two kanji, and to depend on this in tests. I'll use this to simplify the tests I proposed in https://github.com/w3c/csswg-test/pull/1135. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/567#issuecomment-257922669 using your GitHub account
