    <addison> [20]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-request/projects/1

      [20] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-request/projects/1

    addison: 1 new3 incoming glanced at by r12a regarding CSS
    scroll bars

    Atsushi: agree with r12a

    Action: addison: reply to CSS about scrollbars

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-1070 - Reply to css about scrollbars
    [on Addison Phillips - due 2021-09-09].

    addison: shal we move to done and inform CSS WG, and thank them
    for not causing I18n issues.

    addison: HTML draft - on Agenda later. NO reason to hold them
    back. Then reply with completed review.

   UAX50 change request to UTC from JLReq TF

    addison: UAX50 Do we need to discuss?

    r12a: Short summary useful

    r12a had a response from Kida-san . They wish to change
    character properties for some in vertical text. Wrote to ???.
    Onl y concern that W3C should have a mention.

    r12a: Can we publish it as a joint document? What does that
    mean?

    r12a: Naming w3C as a source doesn't seem like a problem.

    addison: Who would we reply to?

    r12a: it is only a change proposal for unicode.

    addison: no objection to it coming from us or them.

    addison: What value does the CITPC (Coded character-sets
    Information Technology Promotion Council) add?

    r12a: Having both orgs would be useful for the Japanese market

    atsushi: CITPC has many companies as members, so this could be
    a Japanese side issue.

    r12a: Kida-San thinks it would be good to be formally reviewed
    and also by the CLReq people.

    Action: richard: send UAX50 change request document for review
    by WG

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-1071 - Send uax50 change request
    document for review by wg [on Richard Ishida - due 2021-09-09].

    r12a: everyone look at it when I send it, please.

    xfq: has discussed some changes in this request. e.g. full
    width semi-colon. Main difference is fallback in simplified
    Chinese

    xfq: This mainly a problem of mapping to the Adobe Japan
    character collection. People generally agree with the changes,
    but this in not the final draft.

    xfq: will share the final draft. This hasn't been shared with
    JLReq

    addison: it would be good if it is shared.

    <r12a> [21]https://github.com/CITPCSHARE/UAX50/wiki/
    Request-to-revise-UAX-50-for-the-harmonization-with-Adobe-Japan
    1

      [21] https://github.com/CITPCSHARE/UAX50/wiki/Request-to-revise-UAX-50-for-the-harmonization-with-Adobe-Japan1

    atsushi: We need to look at conflict between Chinese and
    Japanese

    Action: xfq: send feedback from clreq to jlreq on UAX50
    proposed changes

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-1072 - Send feedback from clreq to
    jlreq on uax50 proposed changes [on Fuqiao Xue - due
    2021-09-09].

    r12a: Postioning it as a W3C and CITPC, can Atsushi take the
    lead?

    atsushi: I will, but may need some assistance

    Action: atsushi: coordinate CITPC and W3C publication of UAX50
    change request

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-1073 - Coordinate citpc and w3c
    publication of uax50 change request [on Atsushi Shimono - due
    2021-09-09].

    jck: If these are going in as comment notes. Why not both
    submit their own comments and say that they have noted the
    other ones?

    addison: 1 formal request is needed. Whoever sends it, if we
    are sending, then we need to approve it.

    addison: There is strength to a Japanese org sending it. UTC
    will look at the factual arguments, whatever the source.

    jck: Agrees strongly

    r12a: Head of CITPC is also prominent on JLReq

    addison: Anthing more on this issue?

   HTML snapshot review

    <addison> [22]https://github.com/w3c/htmlwg/issues/17

      [22] https://github.com/w3c/htmlwg/issues/17

    addison: before TPAC talk about HTML Snapshot review

    addison: this is the regular snapshot. It has 3 I18n related
    issues. The look fine but others may have comments.

    addison: any thoughts

    jck: anything where there are BOM sniffing does worry me.

    addison: This does sniff the BOM.

    addison: Any objections?

    addison: no

    <r12a> no objection

   TPAC

    <xfq> [23]https://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC/2021/GroupMeetings

    addison: For TPAC note sent to chairs saying we are avaailable,
    in particular Tuesday of that week.

    addison: That's the extent, so far. Time or day could be moved.

    addison: There were several invitations including from CSS,
    Accesibility. We can schedule the meetings

    r12a: Personalisation would like a meeting some time, TPAC is a
    long way off. We are blocking them.

    <addison> [24]https://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC/2021/GroupMeetings

      [24] https://www.w3.org/wiki/TPAC/2021/GroupMeetings

    addison: TPAC call, are there different preferences for how it
    should be set up?

    addison: 26th October is my initial date.

    addison: Tuesday

    r12a: Good for me. CSS was asking for us to join their meeting
    on Wednesday.

    addison: Time not set for our sessions.

    addison: allow for several hours, depending on topics.

    r12a: 2 hours would be good. We should schedule another on
    Thursday for 2 hours

    <addison> [25]https://github.com/w3c/personalization-semantics/
    issues/144

      [25] https://github.com/w3c/personalization-semantics/issues/144

    addison: Do we need to meet with A11y and consider the issues
    first, particularly pictures as alternatives for words.

    r12a: They aim to BLISS symbol numbers represent a concept but
    glyphs can be changed

    <r12a> [26]https://github.com/w3c/personalization-semantics/
    issues/144

      [26] https://github.com/w3c/personalization-semantics/issues/144

    addison: Fine for replace a noun with a picture of a noun, some
    verbs are reasonably replaceable. Can you define a grammar for
    compositional elements.

    r12a: only simple examples of composition given.

    addison: grammar and directionality are not addressed.

    addison: There was a working video at a TPAC several years ago.
    I'm still unclear about it. Was it too simplistic?

    addison: They were doing it with a Bidi language.

    <r12a>

    <r12a> Also, we have added a Hebrew example for symbols
    illustrating how to form a

    <r12a> conjugated term (see

    <r12a> [27]https://raw.githack.com/w3c/
    personalization-semantics/edits07062020/content/

    <r12a> ).

    <r12a> ]]

    addison: People working on this are not linguists so may miss
    linguistic issues.

    addison: When do the want to meet?

    r12a: initially thought Mondays but then Tuesday was mentioned.

    r12a: dates suggested were last month

      [29] https://github.com/aphillips/html/commit/b0135d2aee490ef9d40c8bdffce840353c2e0e08

    addison: I have a pull request against it

    <addison> [30]https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/
    7003#pullrequestreview-744095972

      [30] https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/7003#pullrequestreview-744095972

    addison: discussion of wording at the bottom

    r12a: You added "language appropriate case folding". Did you
    mean case conversion?

    r12a: I don't think there is a difference by language?

    addison: What about a string search that is language sensitive.

    r12a: there are some features like ignoring accents. The thrust
    is you need to normalise and case fold

    addison: In turkish you would lose linguistic information with
    a more promiscuous match.

    addison: Language appropriate case folding could map by
    language.

    addison: This is the purpose of CharMod, hence needing a
    document on searching strings and implementitions.

    r12a: We are mathching user input against a values. Is this
    string matching or string searching. i.e do you want to know if
    2 strings match.

    addison: values should be filtered by substrings in the list.
    Then there are different to types of mathching e.g. accents
    kana/kana matching

    addison: we are adding "beware of the complexity of searching".

    addison: One working group in the past was working on Find. We
    poitned out many issues, unless it is purely string matching
    (maybe case insensitive).

    r12a: complexity could come with an esset for example.

    jck: this could be entering dangerous territory, whether ours
    or HTML's

    r12a: We go for a permissive approach

    jck: This could cause problems

    jck: This was what early Unicode talked about string mathching
    after folding.

    addison: User interaction will provide ???

    r12a: I've added custom smarter matched to Uniview

    jck: that's a different matter to case folding

    r12a: if you type in Benin, with an e acute, should that match
    the ASCII Benin

    jck: forcing to ASCII is unreasonable

    r12a: more likely the other way around

    r12a: case folding is not a good place to start for string
    mathching

    addison: for tokens it is fine

    addison: that is the responsibilty of CharModNorm

    jck: even for identifiers there are issue with case sensitive
    environments.

    <addison> [31]https://w3c.github.io/string-search/

      [31] https://w3c.github.io/string-search/

    r12a: maybe case folding doesn't belong in this HTML spec

    addison: In a find command, there is normally an option to be
    case insensitive, or not. But you might need to be language
    sensitive manner.

    r12a: This is case mapping. You do the language tailoring for
    here.

    addison: string search doc in the link above. It was moved out
    of Charmod to keep for later. This is an example of it is
    really hard to describe than it looks. We need to write clearer
    specs, so we can identify the problems.

    jck: Clearer explanation of ??? would be very helpful.

    addison: Original intent was to warn of the complexities.

    r12a: does not think the Charmod Reference is useful.

    r12a: We need a searching document to point people at.
    Following this discussion this is about case matching not case
    folding. We don't want them to case fold.

    addison: It would be reasonable to have a case insensitve
    search, but warn of the challenges.

    r12a: that's case mapping, not case folding

    addison: it is case matching or caseless matching that we are
    interested in.

    addison: Shall I remove the sentence about normalisation and
    case folding?

    r12a: normalisation is important, but I think we should tale
    out case folding.

    r12a: We may need to mention case equivalence

    addison: I'll edit again for that.

    r12a: I will review later
