[webauthn] Support for language/direction metadata in PKCE 'name'? (#1526)

aphillips has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn:

== Support for language/direction metadata in PKCE 'name'? ==
5.4.1. Public Key Entity Description (dictionary PublicKeyCredentialEntity)
https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#dictionary-pkcredentialentity

> name, of type DOMString
>    A human-palatable name for the entity. Its function depends on what the PublicKeyCredentialEntity represents:

The `name` attribute of the entity description is subjected to RFC8266 content requirements (aka PRECIS), but there is no provision for base direction metadata or language metadata (see our document [String-Meta](https://www.org/TR/string-meta)). It is therefore possible that the name will not be displayed correctly to end users due to spillover or font-selection (or other language-specific operations).

See also 5.4.3:

> A human-palatable name for the user account, intended only for display. For example, "Alex P. Müller" or "田中 倫". The Relying Party SHOULD let the user choose this, and SHOULD NOT restrict the choice more than necessary.
