    developing-localizable-manifests.en.html

      [21] https://aphillips.github.io/i18n-drafts/temp/developing-localizable-manifests.en.html

    addison: continuing some edits, look at section 3.2

    richard: do we have a repository for this?

    addison: currently temp under i18n-drafts
    … not yet decided to where this should go
    … will add an action to build a repository for this

    addison: any objection to make a new repo for this?

    Action: richard: create repo for
    developing-localizable-manifests

    [silent]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-1038 - Create repo for

   String-Meta

    <addison> [22]https://aphillips.github.io/string-meta/#

      [22] https://aphillips.github.io/string-meta/

    <addison> [23]https://aphillips.github.io/
    string-meta/#defining_bidi_keywords

      [23] https://aphillips.github.io/string-meta/#defining_bidi_keywords

    addison: hopefully not miss anything
    … one thing LTR/RTL and auto thing.
    … but other major points have finished

    richard: brief look on this, interesting document

    bert: terminology for direction, display direction?
    … feels somehow smaller from display

    [sorry missing due to battery out of speaker, exchanging]

    addison: totally open for different names, these are platform
    container

    richard: if you have a manifest, which has string in with
    direction for each string, in this case data can say directions
    are all one direction, and could specify at the top as document
    direction

    addison: field or ...?
    … both string and layout could have

    richard: could worth to have another example for clarify

    richard: I'm not yet convinced with text on direction
    … we should dictate the naming

    richard: message should say use direction of field

    addison: string-meta is the most best practice

    richard: why they should do?

    addison: consistency on naming
    … wire-up document and consumer

    richard: would less worried, on name of direction

    <r12a> propose using the RECOMMEND keyword

   Datalist find (Richard's proposed text)

    <addison> If filtering based on the user's input, user agents
    should use substring matching against both the suggestions'
    label and value (as opposed to prefix matching). Such substring
    matching should be done after Unicode normalization and case
    folding have been applied. User agents may apply other matching
    techniques as desired for their user experience, for example
    accent-stripping, matching kana with kanji, matching against
    potential misspellin[CUT]

      [25] https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/4814#issuecomment-522741220

    richard: quite not the same as suggested one
    … saying you should use substring match

    addison: there were long standing story why its hard

    richard: this thread is for what you will get from when you
    match with ones typed

    addison: could be somehow control less
    … most of the time, less powerful on finding
    … simple one is substring match, we recommending something like
    unicode normalization or case sensitivity
    … considering potential misspelling

    richard: we are suggesting, definetly unicode normalization,
    definetly case folding
    … that should be the minimum to do

    <addison> [26]https://github.com/w3c/string-search

      [26] https://github.com/w3c/string-search

    richard: whatelse you do

    richard: don't care of NFKC/NFD, normalized text is the all

    addison: want to link to charmod norm?
    … string match has wide variety, and difficult to define

    addison: any other observation here?

    richard: do they use capital letter?

    addison: might be

    richard: add a comment saying clarifying our thought, in
    parallel to raising PR

    richard: want to say is that two item should be performed, at
    some point in series. if there is no reason to remove
