I want to think about this while at the same time thinking of how better to organize the document and add appropriate missing info for implementors. I think there is overlap in the needs of the automatic layout implementor and the non-expert in Japanese print implementor. My main concern with what goes into the amendment is for the de-emphasis of certain traditionally acceptable practices that no current digital implementation does, and so it has less value than when everything was photo-typeset. To the extent possible I would like for explanations to include an analysis of why a certain practice was done (e.g. the space between numerals and Japanese in metal type was due to limitations of how thin the thinnest space could be (?)) and not therefore desirable as a modern default. -- GitHub Notification of comment by macnmm Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/jlreq/issues/162#issuecomment-581715575 using your GitHub account
