Dear i18n folks, The Payments WG is seeking your guidance regarding the Payments Request API [1] on GitHub issue [2]. In the API, we have a set of strings that get passed from a web page to another application (potentially the Web Browser to a Native Application or OS-level application) - as such, we want to preserve BIDI marks and other details that could be helpful with the presentation of those strings to end-users. More specifically, these are "display items" (i.e., the details of items in a shopping cart, such as "3x pair of socks; 1x pair of shoes, etc.") I have proposed [2] the API add "dir" and "lang" dictionary members to the `PaymentItem` dictionary [3] for this purpose. However, there may be more places where dir/lang might be needed. If members of the i18n WG could comment in the bug [2], that would be great! If you find other issues in the spec, would be great to hear as we currently have 3 implementations well-underway underway (in Blink, Edge, Gecko + lot's of sites looking to use this!).
