[w3ctag/design-reviews] Serialization of natural language in data formats such as JSON [I18N] (#178)

Hello TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of:

  - Name: [Recommendations for language and direction attributes in data formats](http://w3c.github.io/i18n-discuss/notes/i18n-action-612.html) **_This document is an explainer._**
  - Primary contacts: [@aphillips][@r12a]

Further details (optional):

  - Relevant time constraints or deadlines: None specifically, but this has been a developing problem for us.

You should also know that...

The Internationalization WG has been commenting on data format specifications with increasing frequency over the past couple years in which we have noted the lack of natural language string types in formats such as JSON. We are concerned that there are internationalization gaps or, in an attempt to address our comments, non-interoperable and divergent implementation choices being made.

This issue is the result of an [I18N WG action](https://www.w3.org/International/track/actions/552). 

We would like the TAG's opinion on the problem and mooted solutions. The I18N WG chair (@aphillips) and Team contact (@r12a) can be available for consultation as needed.

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please select one):

  - [ ] open issues in our Github repo for each point of feedback
  - [X] open a single issue in our Github repo for the entire review
  - [ ] leave review feedback as a comment in this issue and @-notify [@aphillips][@r12a]
