    xfq: Several common approaches are currently listed in the

    addison: there are several approaches on this,
    … some recommendations could be here, but not as must

   paragraph direction in glossary

    addison: let's jump into this quickly

    <addison> [25]https://aphillips.github.io/
    string-meta/#dfn-paragraph-direction

      [25] https://aphillips.github.io/string-meta/#dfn-paragraph-direction

    addison: after discussion, we've learned on dir for paragraph
    or block of text

    <r12a> [26]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-glossary/pull/5/files

      [26] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-glossary/pull/5/files

    addison: PR raised to move some text into glossary, for

   geolocation

    Action: richard to publish the paragraph direction definition

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-1056 - Publish the paragraph

    <xfq__> [27]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/941

      [27] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/941

    xfq: we have one open tracker issue, on error message

    <xfq__> [28]https://github.com/w3c/geolocation-api/issues/50

      [28] https://github.com/w3c/geolocation-api/issues/50

    xfq: Marcos has closed WG issue, and also filed into WebIDL
    issue
    … I'd want to ask whether it is ok to close tracker issue on
    geolocation, as CR-blocker

    addison: what's the current text?

    <xfq__> [29]https://w3c.github.io/
    geolocation-api/#position_error_interface

      [29] https://w3c.github.io/geolocation-api/#position_error_interface

    xfq: this subsection, added note as don't show this message to
    user interface etc.

    <r12a> seems ok to me

    <r12a> basically, this is debugging comments

    +1

    <addison> [30]https://w3c.github.io/
    geolocation-api/#message-attribute

      [30] https://w3c.github.io/geolocation-api/#message-attribute

    addison: don't think any additional is needed
    … also WebIDL might be fixed near future

    Resolution: close the issue

   Updates to HTML/CSS techniques and an article

    <r12a> [31]https://www.w3.org/International/techniques/
    authoring-html

      [31] https://www.w3.org/International/techniques/authoring-html

    r12a: changed styling last week, introduced selecter

    <r12a> [32]https://www.w3.org/International/techniques/
    authoring-html#liststyle

      [32] https://www.w3.org/International/techniques/authoring-html#liststyle

    r12a: this link points to styling counter part
    … link to article in MDN, and they link back to our
    counter-style collection

    <r12a> [33]https://w3c.github.io/i18n-drafts/techniques/
    authoring-html.en#liststyle

      [33] https://w3c.github.io/i18n-drafts/techniques/authoring-html.en#liststyle

    r12a: links to MDN can introduce readers on how-to documents,
    and no need to be included into here

    addison: looks good to me

    felix: listing do-s, but not don't-s?

    r12a: by default no don't-s, but if there is any preference...

    jck: consistency is more important

    <r12a> [34]https://github.com/mdn/content/issues/7295

      [34] https://github.com/mdn/content/issues/7295

    r12a: sounds like no strong push back, go as is

    <r12a> [35]https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/
    text-align

      [35] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/text-align

    r12a: another point is text-align start/end value
    … how these work on left alignment and right alignment et.c

    bert: majority of people use no more than two language, and use
    left/right in existing ones

    r12a: most of people who don't use start/end, on porting into
    another language they will get issues
    … also I have never feel difficult to understand other logical
    properties
    … like for vertical writing, logical could work automatically
    … could happen something like translated contents

    bert: two issues, want to tell left as left, I don't feel most
    of people need to use these

    r12a: considering translator, using left and right have context
    and it could lead difficulty to handle text

    jck: that should be a mixed problem

    r12a: you also need to think about page layout, in arabic book
    or vertical book

    addison: for Bert's point, if you are preparing a page for
    specific language, using left/right could be an issue on
    usability
    … for my task, using in another language, left vs start could
    have some harm
    … in general, super agreement on logical keyword should be used
    … another hand, most developer's reaction could be using left
    is easily understandable

    r12a: we are about to offer advice, if they don't want follow
    it should be fine
    … personally I feel writing an advice is helpful

    r12a: CSS writing techniques document is different from spec

    Action: Richard to add more information about using left/right
    as well as start/end

    addison: first, any action item we need to take on this topic?

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-1057 - Add more information about
    using left/right as well as start/end [on Richard Ishida - due
    2021-08-05].
