Re: [i18n-activity] Arabic letters connecting between elements with display: inline

Although it's a good start, but the "if it is **reasonable and possible** for that case given the limitations of the font technology" part apparently makes it a matter of choice again and leaves a lot of room for inconsistency between implementations, and eventually, as a result of the inconsistencies, users not being able to rely on it.

Regarding "joining context" of elements, has it been discussed to allow user to control it for `inline` elements, with options to *isolate* the element regarding joining or *inherit* context from surrounding?
