Re: [svgwg] BIDI reordering across multiple 'tspan' (#635)

The SVG Working Group just discussed `BIDI reordering across multiple 'tspan'`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: shaping and BIDI occurs across tspan boundaries.`
* `RESOLVED: Text shaping should be harmonized with CSS Text`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;krit> topic: BIDI reordering across multiple 'tspan'<br>
&lt;krit> GitHub: https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/635<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: I think everyone agreed what should happen. However, some UAs don't do it. Do we need clarifications in the spec? Or just open issues to the UAs?<br>
&lt;krit> Tav: Inkscape is incorrect. Shaping should happen across spans.<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: markup shouldn't create isolation for reordering. Unless we have the one specific rule of creating layout chunks.<br>
&lt;krit> myles: HTML does shaping across spans<br>
&lt;krit> myles: it is also very common across websites.<br>
&lt;krit> myles: If you don't do shaping between spans it is totally broken. This is a bug we have (in WebKit?).<br>
&lt;krit> myles: we should be consistent between svg and HTML here/<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: agree with this statement,<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: Do we need more clear in the spec what is expected?<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: Right now the BIDI direction is taken on in the general section. Might be worth pulling it out in a dedicated subsection.<br>
&lt;krit> myles: should live close to the BIDI section but no option on editing in general.<br>
&lt;myles> s/option/opinion/<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: There might be a number of edits required to this chapter. myles, you might be best suited to go through the section since you didn't write it and might not imply things. Would be great if you would be willing to take responsibility for.<br>
&lt;krit> myles: I am willing to help out on it but it might not be valuable to do specific edits but doing general reviews might.<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: More edits will be required even after todays discussion. The edits need to be made eventually.<br>
&lt;krit> krit: lets start with the review.<br>
&lt;krit> myles: Can not promise but might have time next month.<br>
&lt;krit> myles: we should match what CSS says. It has very detailed text.<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: in general we should be as consistent as possible.<br>
&lt;krit> proposed RESOLVED: shaping and BIDI occurs across tspan boundaries.<br>
&lt;krit> RESOLVED: shaping and BIDI occurs across tspan boundaries.<br>
&lt;krit> proposed RESOLVED: Text shaping should be harmonised with CSS Text<br>
&lt;krit> RESOLVED: Text shaping should be harmonized with CSS Text<br>
