[ilreq] Additional topics needed

r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/ilreq:

== Additional topics needed ==
By comparing http://w3c.github.io/typography/questionnaire.html with 
the ilreq document, i came up with the following, non-exhaustive, list
 of items that i think should be covered.  The first (justification) 
is a hot topic currently for CSS.

**Justification & line-end alignment** : When text in a paragraph 
needs to have flush lines down both sides, does it follow the rules 
for your script? Does the script conform to a grid pattern? Does your 
script allow punctuation to hang outside the text box at the start or 
end of a line? Where adjustments are need to make a line flush, how is
 that done? Do you shrink/stretch space between words and/or letters? 
Are word baselines stretched, as in Arabic?

Numbers and digits : Does the script have its own set of number 
digits? Does the numbering system use base-10, or some other type of 
base?

Counters, lists, etc : The CSS Counter Styles specification describes 
a limited set of simple and complex styles for counters to be used in 
list numbering, chapter heading numbering, etc. Are the details 
correct? We have another document that provides over 120 templates for
 user-defined counter styles in over 30 scripts. Are there more? Are 
there other aspects related to counters and lists that need to be 
addressed?

Quotations : What is the expected behaviour for quotations marks, 
especially when nested? Should block quotes be indented or handled 
specially? 

Baselines & inline alignment : What are the requirements for baseline 
alignment between mixed scripts and in general?

Line decoration : Some aspects related to the drawing of lines 
alongside or through text involve local typographic considerations. 
For example, underlines need to be broken in special ways for some 
scripts, and the height of strike-through may vary depending on the 
script. What about vertical text? 

Emphasis : Bold and italic are not always appropriate for expressing 
emphasis, and some scripts have their own unique ways of doing it, 
that are not in the Western tradition at all.

Other paragraph features : Is it normal to indent the start of a 
paragraph in indic scripts?  Are there other features relating to 
paragraphs that should be mentioned?

Notes, footnotes, etc : How does the script deal with notes, 
footnotes, endnotes or other necessary annotations of this kind in the
 way needed for your culture?

Page layout and pagination : Some cultures define page areas and page 
progression direction very differently from those in the West. Is this
 an issue for you? Are widows and orphans relevant? Are there special 
conventions for page numbering, or the way that running headers and 
the like are handled in your culture?
