Re: Ideographic Space, word-spacing, and justification

Kurokawa-san,

Have you read following document?
Requirements of Japanese Text Layout (English
version<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-jlreq-20081015/>,
Japanese version <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-jlreq-20081015/ja/>).

If not yet, please once read the document, especially chapter 3.
You can easily find a lot of examples of "Japanese spaces" used to adjust
line lenght to the kinon hanmen.
If you already read the document, your comments is highly appreciated to
elaborate our draft.
Could you send your comments by 15th Nov.?

I roughly translated Kobayashi-sensei's mail, so my translation might not
clear.
If you would like to read Kobayashi-sensei's original mail in Japanese, I
will forward the mail.
