Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Serialization of natural language in data formats such as JSON [I18N] (#178)

All, wrt using Unicode formatting characters to establish direction, please read the other docs that Addison links – in particular  http://w3c.github.io/i18n-discuss/notes/string-base-direction.html – where we try to enumerate the pros and cons of various approaches.  (@aphilips we should probably make it a bit clearer that folks should read those docs to get a better basis for discussion)

@domenic it's useful to be able to apply the same lang/dir metadata to multiple strings without repeating the metadata, if that's possible; however, it's certainly easy to imagine situations where different assignments are needed for particular strings (eg. in the case of a set of alternative translations for an error message, where one string is in english, and another in hebrew).
