Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text-3][CSS2] bidi white space collapsing, with bidi control characters

The Working Group just discussed `white space collapsing through bidi formatting chars`, and agreed to the following resolutions:

* `RESOLVED: Keep but mark at risk`
* `RESOLVED: Just keep, don't mark at risk.`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;fantasai> Topic: white space collapsing through bidi formatting chars<br>
&lt;fantasai> https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/issues-lc-2013#issue-172<br>
&lt;dael> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2233<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: We asked for i118n feedback. Wanted to check with WG as well. You have some text and at the end of the line you have whitepsace and mixed in there are bidi control characters. Does the whitespace collapse?<br>
&lt;dael> florian: If instead of bidi control characters you have markup with the eq. bidi commands we collapse through.<br>
&lt;dael> myles: Reason to not collapse is if there's a character user can see. This is not that. It should collapse.<br>
&lt;dael> florian: Spec says that but I don't believe anyone does that.<br>
&lt;dael> florian: CSS2 and CSS Text 3 says it must collapse.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Keep spec as is and file bugs?<br>
&lt;dael> myles: THis is a thing we should do.<br>
&lt;dael> koji: WE make bidi controls follow collapsing.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: Text 3 is where in process?<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: LC<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: It'll have to be at risk if we still don't have impl.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: I'm happy for at risk.<br>
&lt;eae> (to clarify, in our new layout engine we do collapse through bidi control characters. the current layout engine does not)<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Mark it as at risk and if no one impl we say we want to do it this way.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: Close no change?<br>
&lt;dael> florian: Mark at risk?<br>
&lt;dael> RESOLVED: Keep but mark at risk<br>
&lt;dael> fremy: Edge does this<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: koji says Chrome will.<br>
&lt;dael> RESOLVED: Just keep, don't mark at risk.<br>
