All user agents should take the effective language into account for the purpose of evaluating the average character width. This is not how the browsers currently behave. However, since the rendering section is non-normative, describing the right behavior does not break the Web. It is irrelevant what all the browsers currently do, unless a vendor (or anybody else) stands up and convinces us that this postulated behavior is wrong or impractical. You take the equivalence between characters and glyphs for obvious and granted because you are English; however, for a significant part of the humanity this is simply untrue. Please reconsider. Cheers, Chris
