Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text-decor] Add auto value for text-decoration-skip:

Interesting that all my insist about was actually about Arabic script.
 As a Safari user that uses Arabic script sites on everyday basis, 
IMHO, this actually helps the situation with Arabic script as without 
dots this two will be less distinguishable and I think Kahled can 
agree with me that with skip: ink, this two valid Persian/Arabic words
 will be more legible and distinguishable on small and big sizes:

Actual text:
سیب سبب

Safari:

I think the situation with Safari is quite good and I prefer to use 
Safari when I use a Macbook actually. The font used to render is 
popular Persian web font, [Iranian 
Sans](https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/iranian-sans) that doesn't 
contain ascender/descender info at all. 

Anyway, if Khaled don't agree with me on this, I know 
github.com/w3c/alreq would be a better forum to discuss about it, I 
couldn't register on its ML yet but I will try with another email. 
Obviously, I will agree with consensus of its members if they conclude
 web is better without `skip: ink` for Arabic, but I don't personally 
really think so.
