Re: [JLReq] [3.5.3] Even space/spacing

Tony,

Thanks for your comment as usual.

We JLTF Japanese team discussed your issue this week.

[Disposition]
Accepted and the text will be changed.

[Current]
Even spacing distribution
[New]
Even space distribution

BTW, the word "space" is somewhat difficult to treat for us.
Sometimes "space" directly indicate some "space position" or some
implicit space typeface image made with lead, and sometimes "space"
means some changing value of white gap between characters or words.
After long and active discussion, JLTF team reached to use three
different types of "space"s.
Full width space, half width space and variable space.
"Full width space" and "half width space" are rather physical "space
type face" image and "variable space" is similar to Western word
space. The difficulty is even "full width space " and "half width
space" are used to adjust the end of text line to Kihon-hanmen.
ANY, if you find farther ambiguous places about usage of "space",
please suggest us without hesitation.

Currently, there are two mailing lists on JLReq, one is
member-japanese-layout-en@w3.org and the other is
public-i18n-cjk@w3.org.
The former is closed list for W3C member experts. the latter is a
newly created open list for all experts and layman.
Both lists are still alive.
But in near future after the second version of JLReq will be
published, we expect that the discussion will somewhat shift from
Japanese only to CJK general typesetting issues, so the CJK list shall
be the main discussion stream.
