In my opinion, the spacing added between characters for Japanese line layout rules are not equivalent to the space character, which is a word separator for Latin but not normally used to separate all Latin from Japanese in the same line. The reason for this is that during line compression or expansion, the space character width is optimized for Latin (it is the wrong width by default) and expands or contracts differently from the Latin-J spacing from publisher house rules or other J layout conventions. This is why Latin-J spacing rules exist, and need to be treated separately from the Latin U+0020 space. Yes, people have added space for Latin-J spacing in the past, in engines that so not support correct spacing rules for Japanese layout, but trying to convert between one and the other would degrade quality and confuse users, I feel. -- GitHub Notification of comment by macnmm Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8511#issuecomment-2007410599 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
