The “distribute” value has a special behavior built-in for text-align-last, and that conflicts with Korean use case. We could remove it in preference to recently-added justify-all, but doing so is likely to break existing documents, so Korean documents can’t use “distribute” unless either a) we break existing documents or b) Korean should also specify "text-align-last: left”. I have mild preference to add inter-ideograph back, but I can live with b) Korean should also specify "text-align-last: left”. > I am also wondering if we should revive the issue of renaming 'distribute' > to 'inter-character', since it seems to confuse everybody. :) We could also add “inter-character” that doesn’t involve the text-align-last behavior, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to remove “distribute” for backward compatibility. It’s been implemented in IE for more than 10 years and it’s in the spec for more than 3 years. /koji
