Re: [i18n-discuss] Text appearance, accessibility, and internationalization (#46)

This all seems rather familiar... I think the i18n WG made similar comments some time ago. Was that perhaps on a different document?


> See Unicode Standard Annex https://github.com/w3c/i18n-discuss/issues/29 Unicode Text Segmentation([https://unicode.org/reports/tr29/)](https://unicode.org/reports/tr29/%EF%BC%89)

Here's a more specific link, and one that works: https://unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Grapheme_Cluster_Boundaries

> Drop "left" and "right", as these words apply to horizontal writing only.

I suspect the intention here is to indicate 'fully justified' text, ie. text that is aligned to both left and right margins **at the same time**.

> I wonder if justification is mandatory in some natural language.

There are certainly numerous scripts where fully justified text is the norm, unlike in English.
