    Bert: have a few comment
    ... think it would be helpful to start with a couple lines
    about what ruby is, a couple lines and link to somewhere
    ... surprised to see some sentences that say "I..."
    ... noticed first image that explains 3 types of ruby is cut
    off

    richard/addison: doesn't seem to happen to us?

    Bert: could be my fonts
    ... in intro mentions in tradition of hand-edited changes to
    make things work
    ... possible even if using these rules, allow designer to
    override certain settings by hand?

    richard: possible with CSS?

    Bert: what I'm hoping
    ... text is set on a grid with letters aligning vertical and
    horizontal, what happens then

    richard: it's a special kind of grid, jlreq explains

    <Bert> (The text being cut in figure 1 is indeed due to my
    browser's minimum font size setting.)

    <atsushi> (xfq, sorry haven't get time to reply on your
    reply...)

    xfq: taken over by json-ld, spec is a rec now

    <scribe> ACTION: fsasaki: investigate if any more work needs
    doing in RDF for language and direction metadata

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-885 - Investigate if any more work
    needs doing in rdf for language and direction metadata [on
    Felix Sasaki - due 2020-04-09].

    RESOLUTION: close issue 190

    <xfq> [31]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/192

      [31] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/192

    richard: understand that RDF folks want URLs to reference
    things
    ... how would one approach the combinatorial problem of BCP47

    felix: provide URLs for subtags, here's a language tag, use a
    blank node to group URLs for subtags

      [33] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/196

    xfq: ivan sked richard to update some tests

    richard: vaguely remember doing something, recommend we close

    RESOLUTION: close issue 196

    richard: had a thought for dealing with long lists, might be
    useful to put the i18n WG person who raised the issue or last
    person assigned at the end
    ... might be useful to see the ones we're individually
    responsible for first

    atsushi: putting names of WG member?

AOB?
