English reader here who has a bare acquaintance with Chinese text. As a webmaster, I would prefer that the default behavior, not inserting automatic spaces on language switch between CJK and Western, not be changed and that any new behaviors, such as automatically inserting spaces, need to be explicitly stated through a non-default property. This would prevent breaking legacy content. I checked with two colleagues who have professional experience in Chinese-language media and here are their responses on the proposal: Jay Lu: > “When I worked for the Chinese media, our style book called for no-space. I would recommend no-space because 1) our local press (Sing Tao and World Journal) follows no-space guide; 2) it looks better.” Jessie Liang: > “As for newspapers and online articles, it's better to have no spaces before and after the English words, which look better. However, as for the subtitle on TV, you may or may not use a space because when you read a subtitle with a limited time, having a space before and after the English words would be easier to catch each word.” -- GitHub Notification of comment by CharlesBelov Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6950#issuecomment-1079508509 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
