Re: [i18n-activity] When should UAOA be used?

I submitted a long individual feedback. Here's the part related to this issue:

# 2. Scope of the algorithm

The scope of the algorithm is not clear, neither in its title nor in the language.

The name “Unicode Arabic Mark Ordering Algorithm” is suggesting that this is expected to be the only way Arabic Marks should be ordered in Unicode. That’s clearly not the case. In fact, the document is proposing an algorithm for “reordering” Arabic Marks (not just how they should be ordered) to solve a problem in “rendering” of the script. The title need to be clear about this. Maybe “Unicode Arabic Mark Reordering Algorithm for Rendering” (AMRAR)?

Similarly, the Section 2 “Background” doesn’t clarify the scope of the algorithm and only explains how something is not working for some specific application with the existing normalization methods.
