Yesterday the W3C published an updated copy of the CSS Text Level 3 specification as a Working Draft. This defines many typographic features that will soon make their way into a Web browser near you! http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/ This module covers, among other things, * White space processing * Line breaking * Justification * Text decoration The latest revision in particular attempts to classify the scripts in Unicode according to their typographic behavior. Unfortunately while I am familiar with more scripts than the average person, I am unfamiliar with most of them. Any suggestions for corrections and additions would be thus much appreciated. http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#script-categorization The module is derived from some early CSS Internationalization drafts, and one of its primary goals is to provide key features needed to correctly typeset languages from around the world. We welcome your comments and questions on the draft. Input from the Indic, Southeast Asian, and Arabic script communities so far has been noticeably missing and would be especially appreciated. The best way to send feedback is to post to the archived mailing list www-style@w3.org: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/ with '[css3-text]' and a summary of your comment in the subject line. For those of you who want to follow the latest-latest modifications, the unofficial editor's draft is here: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-text/ Thanks~ ~fantasai Invited Expert, W3C CSS Working Group
