      [19] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1382

    r12a: +1 to close 1382

    <xfq> [20]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1381

      [20] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1381

    xfq: added a reference to charmod-norm to say that filenames
    must be unicode canonical norm and full case folding

    richard: agree it should be closed

    addison: +1

    <xfq> [21]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1380

      [21] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1380

    matt
    … about character restrictions

    core/#sec-container-filenames

      [22] https://w3c.github.io/epub-specs/epub33/core/#sec-container-filenames

    xfq: they changed to text to include all non- characters

    addison: never is a long time: don't think they should limit
    valid characters

    richard: no actual restrictions except for 32 characters

    <r12a> [23]https://w3c.github.io/epub-specs/epub33/
    core/#sec-container-filenames

      [23] https://w3c.github.io/epub-specs/epub33/core/#sec-container-filenames

    addison: think disallowing tag characters is a problem
    … if characters are not a problem in file systems either is a
    barrier to users or ends up with reqs being ignored

    close 1380, open new issues

    addison: three pending and one tracker

    <addison> [30]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1413

      [30] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1413

    r12a: i suspect this is the sort of thing that they all want to
    discuss

    <addison> [31]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1412

      [31] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1412

    r12a: maybe we can discuss this in the joint meeting to get
    more informed feedback

    addison: 1412
    … it has natural language text string but with no language and
    direction metadata

    <addison> [32]https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1411

      [32] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1411

    r12a: most of the strings are USVStrings, but this one is
    DOMString
    … don't know why they treat them differently

    dictionary PaymentCredentialInstrument {

    required DOMString displayName;

    required USVString icon;

    };

    r12a: they can get the language and direction from the html
    page they're embedded?

    addison: it's an externally supplied piece of information

    <r12a> [33]https://github.com/w3c/secure-payment-confirmation/
    issues/93#issuecomment-923145826

      [33] https://github.com/w3c/secure-payment-confirmation/issues/93#issuecomment-923145826

    addison: the heart of all this is do we think natural language
    text need language and direction metadata all the time
    … introducing new structure could break things, i understand
    that
    … but for new things should we add metadata or not?

    r12a: i think we should add metadata

    r12a: Order of discussion

    addison: font fingerprinting issue is important
    … and generic font family issue

    r12a: fallback @@
    … different generic styles for different scripts
    … there's the question of , how do you make that work

    r12a: i think that also addresses the issue "What does fangsong
    map to for non chinese"
    … and "Specify what generic font family maps to nastaliq"
    … for flow-relative syntax for margin-like shorthands, we're
    very closed to the solution

    r12a: about #6319, the color one, it's only marginally involved
    in i18n
    … i don't think we should spend too much time on it unless we
    have loads of time left over

    r12a: i'm generally kind of wary of talking about ruby because
    it is a huge sinkhole

   Discuss outcome of WP meeting

    addison: i think that was the right outcome
    … if we solve it in TC 39, it will be a long conversation

    r12a: could we change it to something like internationalized
    string?
    … People might misunderstand the name localizable

    addison: people will type it in definitions

    [Discuss the naming]

    addison: we don't mean localization, we mean adding metadata to
    strings we already have

    r12a: i think you're right

    <r12a> ... that we need to push on for a solution of the
    lang/dir string thing

    addison: do we need to do other things, like do an explainer?

    addison: meet with CSS tomorrow

    r12a: we need to read these threads again

    addison: will send an email to Murata-san
