Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Handwriting Recognition API (#591)

@wacky6, thank you for your patience! @atanassov and I looked at this during our F2F. Your response covers most of the questions we had - thanks a lot.

> WDYT to have a hint about writing direction? In case some recognizers need this information. Note, some recognizer may disregard this hint altogether.

I think having that as an extension point would be useful - if there is some sort specific of post-processing that needs to be done based on this before it hits the recognizer, it feels like this information could be useful to expose.

> For LTR languages, but characters written from right to left (e.g. "hello" written in "olleh" order). It's a rare/uncommon scenario.

We agree that this isn't an important scenario to handle. Our concerns on RTL was mostly about languages that are actually written left to right.

> I don't think we should try to solve the mixed script problem if the underlying implementations haven't solved it.

If it's an unsolved problem, I think we don't need to delve too much into this.

> We don't have particular preferences on where the methods are. Are you suggesting we put the methods behind a attribute (e.g. navigator.handwritingService.doSomething())?

Yes, this was one of the reasons we asked this question.

We were also a bit curious on three different tabs initiating multiple recognition contexts - is anything shared? (This question is based on the navigator layering)

(More comments based on the discussion with @atanassov to come in a bit.)
