Thank you for your comment @jfkthame. Last night we talked, @fantasai and @frivoal were strong to keep the current text, so we resolved to add the note, but defer the decision whether this is SHOULD or MUST. Before adding your new point to agenda, it'd be great if @fantasai and @frivoal can comment here, as it'll save our conf time I guess. > I think it's pretty clear that treating all the characters as strong LTR (so that upright Hebrew letters appear top-to-bottom, for example) I agree upright Hebrew appear top-to-bottom, but less sure about how. Complex cases are like: ```html <div class=U><span dir=rtl>ABC</span></div> ``` The "ABC" is still strong LTR, correct? ```html <div class=U> ABC <span class=R>DEF</span> GHI <span class=R>JKL</span> MNO </div> ``` The "DEF" and "JKL" are LTR so reordering occurs, as "`ABC LKJ GHI FED MNO`", correct? ```html <div class=R> ARABIC TEXT HAS <span class=U>SYMBOL1</span> AND <span class=U>SYMBOL2</span> IN A PARAGRAPH. </div> ``` The two symbols are strong LTR so reordering occurs, making "SYMBOL2" visually earlier than "SYMBOL1", correct? I don't understand many parts of UBA yet but these look magical enough to think explicit control is better than automatic for authors. -- GitHub Notification of comment by kojiishi Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/755#issuecomment-265642164 using your GitHub account
