First Public Working Draft of Indic Layout Requirements published

The W3C Internationalization Working Group has published a First Public
Working Draft of Indic Layout Requirements[1] on behalf of the Indic
Layout Task Force[3], part of the W3C Internationalization Interest Group.

This document describes the basic requirements for Indic script layout
and text support on the Web and in eBooks. These requirements provide
information for Web technologies such as CSS, HTML and SVG about how to
support users of Indic scripts. The current document focuses on
Devanagari, but there are plans to widen the scope to encompass
additional Indian scripts as time goes on.

Publication as a First Public Working Draft, signals the beginning of
the process, rather than an end point. We are now looking for comments
on the document. Please send any comments you have to
public-i18n-indic@w3.org. The archive[2] is public, but you need to
subscribe to post to it.
