Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text-decor] Clarifying skip-ink:auto behavior in relation to CJK text (#4276)

> I thought the WG agreed to gate this skipping behavior on the lang= attribute, rather than Unicode properties. Am I misremembering?

I think you're misremembering (at least according to my memory, which of course is fallible!)

The trouble with gating on `lang=` is that it's so often not appropriately set. This is particularly true for dynamic pages (e.g. search results) and pages hosting user-generated content, where the author cannot predict what languages will be present, but there are also cases of primarily-CJK pages tagged with `lang=en`, or no `lang` attribute at all, where using the attribute to control skipping behavior will give inferior results.
