emlun has just submitted a new pull request for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn: == Replace in-field string metadata with resource-level default fields == This addresses #1643: > We request that you do the following: > > * Remove the in-field encoding of language metadata using Unicode tag characters > * Remove the in-field encoding of string direction using strongly directional marks > * Add a document-level field for the document language and a document-level field for default direction; such fields would be optional, since you have an installed base New `language` and `direction` attributes on `PublicKeyCredentialUserEntity` seems like the most appropriate implementation of a "document-level field", since these are the only natural language string parameters we have. The new attributes won't work with currently existing CTAP authenticators, but their processing is specified as "best-effort" (at least that's the intent) so RPs should be aware that they might not work. --- The following tasks have been completed: - [ ] Modified Web platform tests ([link](https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/)) Implementation commitment: - [ ] WebKit ([link to issue](https://bugs.webkit.org/)) - [ ] Chromium ([link to issue](https://issues.chromium.org/issues/new?component=1456855&template=0)) - [ ] Gecko ([link to issue](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home)) Documentation and checks - N/A ~~Affects privacy~~ - N/A ~~Affects security~~ - N/A ~~Updated explainer~~ See https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/2280 -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
