[i18n-activity] Support for language/direction metadata in PKCE 'name'? (#988)

aphillips has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity:

== Support for language/direction metadata in PKCE 'name'? ==
5.4.1. Public Key Entity Description (dictionary PublicKeyCredentialEntity)
https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#dictionary-pkcredentialentity

> name, of type DOMString
>    A human-palatable name for the entity. Its function depends on what the PublicKeyCredentialEntity represents:

The `name` attribute of the entity description is subjected to RFC8266 content requirements (aka PRECIS), but there is no provision for base direction metadata or language metadata (see our document String-Meta). It is therefore possible that the name will not be displayed correctly to end users due to spillover or font-selection (or other language-specific operations).
