Re: [jlreq] Digital native version of JLReq, discuss goals and changes from the current version (#281)

I think the situation with U+2026 is hopeless; it’s really a bug in Unicode, not anything the W3C can do. They should never have merged the European ellipsis with the CJK half-ellipsis; they are completely different glyphs that only happen to *sometimes* look the same. A minimal pair, in linguistics terms. They never did their lingusitic analysis right.

The same can probably can said of at least some of the others but it’s harder to make the case. And of course in CJK typography we don’t really work in ems; they got their basic unit wrong and I’m not sure if there’s anything that can be done to fix the whole mess.
