I think this makes sense, though I'd like to double-check with i18n
if indeed embedded text should swap sides on the emphasis marks.
(It probably does; I know underlines do, when swapping Japanese to
English within a paragraph.) I can add it to the spec for now, though,
and update if we hear back otherwise.
I think the full set of rules should be
:root:lang(zh), [lang|=zh] { text-emphasis-position: under right; }
[lang|=ja] { text-emphasis-position: over right; }
Does that seem right? [Given 'over right' is the initial value, the
:root selector is not necessary for Japanese.]
I'm also curious, do we need a similar rule for Korean?
