    richard: updated the article pipeline
    ... last friday gave a presentation in tokyo
    ... bridging gap between jlreq and implementation
    ... seems to have gone well, some initiatives in place to work
    on closing gaps
    ... talk not yet available on web in english, but is available
    in chinese

    richard: attendee translated to chinese and put on his blog at
    above link
    ... what I said was
    ... recent member sub is useful to a point
    ... needs maintain
    ... needs more detail and prioritization
    ... so have a roadmap, that'll help css
    ... do it at a lower level than recent sub
    ... which was "vertical works pretty well"
    ... jp community should organize so can pull together and and
    show pain points
    ... interest in doing a course
    ... on bidi
    ... very early heads up
    ... did a bunch of requirements to specdev
    ... vertical text and ruby in more detail
    ... bit about text decoration
    ... largely from ttml

writing modes

    richard: summary of chinese experts discuss
    ... and on 3 issues from ttml

    <r12a> For subtitling, no-one has seen vertical-lr, and very
    little vertical-rl in chinese too.

    <r12a> Straight or wavy lines alongside the text are mostly
    used for things such as book-title or name highlighting, rather
    than for emphasis like in Latin-script text underlines. Lines
    alongside vertical text should appear on the opposite side of
    items such as emphasis marks, ruby, etc (avoids interference),
    but most felt that lines (straight or wavy) always appear to
    the left of the vertical line.

    <r12a> Emphasis marks (eg. dots) by default appear on the left
    side, but could be right.

    <r12a> Bopomofo ruby always appears on the right side, and
    pinyin ruby or hanzi ruby normally appear on the right too.

    richard: summary of discussion above

    vertical-lr is mainly exceptional

    richard: mostly used for book titles & name highlighting
    ... jp: right (before) side
    ... in left-to-right lines
    ... one person disagreed or wasn't sure
    ... difference between jp and zh
    ... mongolian on right hand side in vertical and below in
    horizontal

    fantasai: have info on jp and ko in spec now but need mongolian

    richard: thinking of sending issues

    <r12a> [29]https://github.com/w3c/type-samples/issues/55

      [29] https://github.com/w3c/type-samples/issues/55

    richard: here's an example from type samples

    <r12a> [30]https://github.com/w3c/type-samples/issues/56

      [30] https://github.com/w3c/type-samples/issues/56

    <fantasai> ohhhhhh, you have a database of type samples????

    <fantasai> I totally have stuff for you

    richard: here's an example so-called underlining

    <fantasai> <3 <3 <3 <3

    <r12a> [31]https://w3c.github.io/type-samples/

      [31] https://w3c.github.io/type-samples/

    richard: please to add samples
    ... ttml doesn't have a sideways-rl/lr for writing mode
    ... expected text-orientation would do that
    ... explained how css changed
    ... really useful for horizontal scripts, like start and end,
    line breaks etc
    ... should consider it
    ... instead of rotating the glyphs, rotate the box

    fantasai: better ergonomics for the author: don't have to set
    two properties
    ... reduced the number of combinations
    ... that weren't important

    richard: in ttml it's not handled properly

    <fantasai> correctness wasn't an issue in original Writing
    Modes; it *was* in XSL:FO, though

    <fantasai> TTML must've been copying XSL:FO model

    richard: in tblr used default positions
    ... and in mongolian would be wrong
    ... don't think chinese would be right to position ruby et al
    ... wasn't able to convince them
    ... mongolians may feel unhappy
    ... and mongolian is prime user of tblr
    ... they are putting in a note
    ... don't want to change default
    ... could introduce over/under
    ... maybe in ttml-next
    ... change default for tblr specifically
    ... want to know about sideways-*
    ... at risk might not get impls
    ... could be deferred to level 4

    fantasai: chrome planning to work on it
    ... in next year or two??
    ... jp wants writing modes asap
    ... defer sideways into a level 4
    ... but chrome would not defer

    richard: arabic layout folks want for arabic

    fantasai: as soon as implemented go to rec

    richard: preceded css, just a timing of introduction

    fantasai: will publish forked off level 3 without that section
    ... some process question about can we go direct to CR
    ... but looking to get sideways-* asap to cr

    richard: no plans to change it
    ... way forward for ttml

    fantasai: will publish simultaneous

Accept WHATWG change to restrictions on bidi

    richard: whatwg stripped out checking for unpaired unicode bidi
    controls
    ... because things not checking correctly
    ... to complicated to understand
    ... actioned to ask aharon and mati
    ... "it's complicated" was reply
    ... travis is waiting on us
    ... so suspect say "okay"

    addison: what's the side effect?

    fantasai: only changes conformance checkers really
    ... concerns about user-generated data are solved by isolation

    (no objections)
