organizing layout information

    richard: fantasai from css
    ... asked if we can warehouse information about non-latin
    script
    ... specifically justification rules
    ... how this or that script does it
    ... sounds reasonable
    ... doing this in layout requirements
    ... other information outside layout reqs tho
    ... could make small documents for other scripts
    ... but when you get lots and lots of documents it gets harder
    to maintain/keep track of
    ... thing to point to might be wiki

    <r12a> [22]https://www.w3.org/International/wiki/Typography

    ... ideas for how to move forward?

    document
