Three languages are mentioned in section 1.1 as being written primarily or alternatively in Perso-Arabic script, but otherwise there’s no information regarding writing in this script and issues associated with it, such as bidirectional layout or justification using kashidas. Should this be covered here, or is the hope that it will eventually be covered in a requirements document for Arabic and other bidirectional scripts?

Somnath,

To follow up on Norbert's point, I suggest that while I prepare the 
document for publication tomorrow I add a sentence after the first 
paragraph in section 1.1 to say

"This document is currently focused on the Devanagari script. The 
expectation is that over time its scope will widen to cover additional 
major scripts from the list below."

And i need to add a paragraph describing the document to the status 
section, and I propose to add a similar sentence there too.

If you have a problem with this, let me know. Otherwise I'll proceed as 
described.

cheers,
ri
