  addison: conversation continued yesterday, see note. MathML,
  CSS issues

  addison: longest conversation was on generic fonts
  … asked us to come back to say on different generics via gap
  analysis
  … we are asked to guide addisions, and guidelines for adding
  new generics
  … associating new generics to existing ones
  … goal is to collect generic classes in different area
  … second part is how those map to five generics
  … like Nastaliq is not sans-serif, or so

  r12a: you are talking about long discussions, we held

  addison: one is talk about specdev, one editing in flight with
  more time than usual

  be lunched to specdev
  … don't need is to copy words

 specdev

  r12a: we have lots of items in both

  addison: original concept was checklist and pointers

  addison: richard you wanted to add some text for TBDs
  … do we have some plan to build text for those?

  r12a: got a detailed plan, step 1 someone write text, step 2 we
  review, step 3 we publish!

  r12a: remember this is for spec developers
  … also if you click links, you will see several review comments
  and what things to do or taken

  addison: should we build backlog for people can check, or?

  r12a: we could, but in sense of spec-dev, people can take from
  contents. there are already pipelines

  addison: when we read as a block, you will notice the gaps
  … sometimes we do on mustard, but sometimes don't

  r12a: we have somewhere, in some cases but not all. we should
  have here and also links

  addison: review comment for secure-payment-confirmation here, I
  don't think spec-dev doesn't say anything relates to this

  r12a: not everything we need to create text for specdev

  addison: on review, we have new action to tag each issue
  … on some level, I would expect to have a policy what to write

  xfq: I can look into some text, after finishing the whitespace
  stuff

  r12a: better to have more people than you and me
  … if you review something, and there is nothing in specdev, one
  should propose something to specdev

  addison: one proposal, if one review and found nothing within
  label, one propose some text?

  r12a: there are TBC label

  r12a: if you choose t: label, you will see section number and
  title
  … TBC is not sure which section is related, x is not in specdev
  … like bidi_x

  r12a: i: is index
  … those labels relate to index, t: labels are for specdev.
  there should be some documentation.

  for non-ततसम words. Also, for meaning change as inवेदांत which
  means- ‘in the Veda’ as against, वेदानत which means- end of the

  nasal, although in some cases a particular word is preferred to
  have one or the other
  … but in general you can switch between the two depending on
  how you like to write it
  … this is just one example of how you can type differently

  ways of spelling

 CSS #775

  [54]https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/775

    [54] https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/775

  florian: Issue CSS#775 waiting for an answer

  fantasai: The comment in the issue is a good summary.

  addison: So it is trying to shrink bopo, but nut pinyin?

  florian: Shrinking 50% OK for kana. For pinyin, may also depend
  on the font.

  addison: So the language tag is a proxy for determining if it
  is bopo or pinyin?

  fantasai: Yes, we have no other information.

  florian: May make for verbose markup with all the lang tags,
  but it is the right thing to do.
  … Question is not if this captures everything, but if it is the
  right default.

  r12a: I was concerned about applying the sizing to the
  bopomofo. The bopomofo can be in the same position as kana or
  pinyin, but usually it is along the side.
  … You can set CSS properties to do that.
  … So is the 30% right in that case?

  florian: You cannot have a CSS property depend on the value of
  another property.

  addison: What if you remove the 30% rule?

  florian: Then the bopomofo size would be wrong.

  r12a: You need something different for bopomofo to get the
  position correct.

  florian: You can have three characters bopomofo ruby, and then
  50% won't fit.
  … We are trying to say ruby in general sizes to 50%, but when
  it is bopomofo size to 30%.
  … For the default; author can always change it.
  … Size works, no matter what side of the base the ruby is
  displayed on.

  r12a: Inter-character layout is very specific.
  … And is the 30% instead of 33% to leave room for tone?

  <fantasai> [55]https://language.moe.gov.tw/001/Upload/files/
  SITE_CONTENT/M0001/deploy/html_en/index.html

    [55] https://language.moe.gov.tw/001/Upload/files/SITE_CONTENT/M0001/deploy/html_en/index.html

  fantasai: Comes from ministerial recommendations for size
  ratios.
  … See document from Taiwan ^^

  florian: clreq has the same.

  addison: OK, so the size is right. Now how do know a text is
  bopomofo?

  florian: Hong-Kong vs Taiwan.

  r12a: This is about the size. Isn't the centering also an
  issue?
  … Because bopomofo isn't vertically centered, according to the
  Taiwan document. At least in inter-character. But bopomofo is
  rarely in other positions.

  fantasai: Language tag matching is according to RFC. Subtag
  order does not matter.

  addison: But if you do prefix matching...

  fantasai: Browsers are supposed to apply the RFC 4347 algo.

  addison: So if tw is not in the subtags, the pinyin may end up
  small.

  florian: We might specify ‘not hk’.
  … Smaller size may be harder to read.

  David-Clarke: So, accessibility issues.

  florian: So better to miss some cases than apply too much.

  fantasai: Require language tags: Is there a way to express that
  a document is in a mix of scripts?

  addison: There is ‘hanb’

  [56]http://unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.html

    [56] http://unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.html

  addison: For Han with Bopomofo.

  florian: That's perfect.

  addison: ‘Perfect’ not the word I was thinking of....

  florian: But perfect for this situation.
  … So I think we add zh-hanb.

  r12a: Looking at the Taiwan document, the pictures are
  different. Figuring out the sizing...

  florian: There are some 9's and some 8's, while clreq only has
  9's in the ratios.
  … 9/30 in clreq, and 8/30 in the Taiwan document some of the
  time.

  r12a: About half of the time.

  fantasai: zh-hanb is now added in the CSS Ruby spec.

  florian: I think the 8 or 9 is fine, it is always 9, but some
  fonts may have non-square, 8x9 characters.
  … So size is correct, though positioning may be a problem.

  fantasai: So OK for square and portrait characters. Landscape
  characters a problem.

  addison: OK, sounds reasonable. As a default.

  addison: OK, so shall we turn to the centering issue?

  florian and fantasai discuss the process for the CSS WG to
  approve the issue.

  fantasai: issue #771

  [57]https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/771#

    [57] https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/771

  fantasai: Issue was focused on latin text, should we have a
  separate issue for Chinese?

  [58]https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/779

    [58] https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/779

  florian: Issue #779

  florian: Bopomofo is not exactly centered, but close.

  <fantasai> [59]https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/
  771#issuecomment-1182339573

    [59] https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/771#issuecomment-1182339573

  fantasai: in #771, the proposal is to have a separate
  justification algo for ruby.
  … It says spaces are not a justification opportunity.
  … We can say Bopomofo doesn't have justification opportunities.

  florian: The removal of justification opportunity effectively
  results in centering, which for bopomofo is almost right.

  fantasai: The 'auto' value can do this.
  … Without justification opportinuties, it falls back to
  centering.

  addison: Seems reasonable...

  r12a: Yes, reasonable. But:
  … Need to be clear that is an approximate kludge.

  florian: If we would specify 'center', it would also be wrong
  in the same way.
  … For the difference between centering and actual bopomofo
  layout, you would need dedicated engines in any case.

  fantasai: So we are adding a justification mode, which removes
  justification opportunities from bopomofo. As it is an 'auto'
  value, implementers can do better, but that may take a while to
  happen.
  … We need to bring this to the CSS WG.

  florian: I have added a corresponding tag to the issue.

  fantasai: And I will add the conclusion in the issue.

  addison: Do you want us to review?

  florian: We can ping you when it is ready for review.

  addison: Tracking in issue #779, rather than #771.

  css-text-4/#text-spacing-property

    [61] https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-4/#text-spacing-property

  florian: The diff between allow-end and trim-end is whether you
  trim the white part of punctuation if it appears at the end of
  the line.
  … allow-end may lead to ragged right appearance.

  r12a: It doesn't depend on justification..

  addison: So the issue is about the default behavior.

  florian: Yes, and the argument in the issue to use trim-end
  seems reasonable.
  … So, the i18n wg recommends to accept the proposal?

  addison: I don't see any harm in making it the default.

  r12a: Yes, I already agreed in a comment in the issue.

  (notes that we discussed this: [62]https://www.w3.org/2022/03/

    [63] https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6001

  fantasai: So seems the conclusion is to close the issue ^^ with
  no change?

  florian: That seems to be the conclusion in the corresponding
  clreq issue.

  fantasai: OK will do.

  fantasai: Seems there is a preference for turning on
  auto-spacing by default. Separate question is compatibility
  with browsers.
  … Chinese suggestion is 1/8 em, Japanese suggestion is 1/4 to
  1/6 em.

  florian: Precise size can be an issue in layout of a button or
  menu. So my suspicion is that there are pages that break when
  auto spacing is on by default.

  fantasai: So spacing is preferable, if it is compatible. Other
  question is what the default size is, 1/8? 1/6? Or depending on
  language?

  atsushi: From jlreq perspective, 1/6 em comes from traditional
  spacing. Research exists that sizeof spacing between
  ideographic and alphanum
  … in jlreq consensus that some spacing is better than nothing.

  fantasai: So 1/8 is probably the least intrusive change then.

  florian: Is is user-selectable?

  fantasai: Not currently, but we should make it so.

  florian: As it is not implemented yet, seems better to keep it
  simple for now.

  r12a: It is implemented in IE, and MS Word does it.

  florian: Yes, and other programs, but question is about CSS and
  browsers.

  fantasai: MS Word also has to be compatible with practice in
  the 90s. Need research of current practice.

  florian: Would be good to have a conclusion from i18n that some
  spacing is desirable, and exact size is to be researched.

  addison: That seems not controversial. If compatible.
  … And you would do research what sophisticated layout engines
  do today.

  florian: I think the Japanese 1/4 comes from when that was
  simple to do in typesetting.

  addison: What at boundary between ideographs and, say arabic?

  r12a: Or Thai?

  florian: Latin is by far the most common.

  fantasai: I suspect it is for everything that is not
  ideographs. That is what the spec says now.

  addison: emojis?

  florian: They are neither letters nor numerals.

  fantasai: So conclusion: spacing between 1/8 and 1/6 em,
  depending on further research.
  … Other question is what to do if there is already space in the
  source.
  … Throw it away and put in the 1/8em?
  … And would it be web-compatible if we *only* did that?

  r12a: That would only shrink the text somewhat, so not as
  dangerous for buttons and menus, as Florian mentioned.

  r12a: That is also a part of my issue ^^

  r12a: Auto-spacing is bound to get a lot more complicated, when
  we get to other languages.
  … E.g., the vertical bar that ends a sentence.
  … Some people put a space before it, size can differ.
  … And some traditions have a lot more space after than before
  the symbol.

  florian: For French, practice differs. There are rules, but
  some authors ignore it, some put a normal space because it is
  hard to get the right one...

  fantasai: But if you turn the property on explicitly, you get
  what you want.

 CSS 5478

  About which quote characters to select when a quote is in a
  different language from the surrounding text.

  fantasai: I already have an action for that. Can try to work on
  it on...

  r12a: It is part of the gap analysis documents.

  fantasai: Seems it was checked in for Gecko already.

  r12a: And the issue talks about Chromium. Is webkit doing it?

  fantasai: Seems Chrome was updated also.

  r12a: OK, I need to run my tests again.
  … That will change the color of a large percentage of my
  language-enablement matrix.

  addison: So it will be the tipping point and we can say the web
  is now internationalized :-)

  fantasai: There was a proposal to use 'margin' as shorthand for
  physical, and 'marginS' as shorthand property for logical.

  addison: There could be a switch in the style sheet to switch
  between physical and logical. Is that a good summary of what we
  said?
  … In other words, once all physical properties have a logical
  equivalent, there could be a switch to turn all shorthands into
  logical shorthands.

  fantasai: A switch at syntax level, but only for the
  shorthands. 'Margin-left' would still be left, but 'margin'
  would affect the logical properties.

  r12a: I believe Chrome has a flag.
  … I'll send you the article I've written, which talks about
  ':dir(rtl)'

  fantasai: Send me an email, otherwise I'll forget to look at
  it.

  addison: Next meeting is Thursday. I'll have a meeting with Ian
  [on Web Payments] and I'll report on that.

  atsushi: What is the zoom for Thursday?

  addison: The one we use for the regular telcons.
  … I'll send the agenda tonight, probably.

  addison: I talked with some a11y people over lunch, among other
  things about tagging old languages.

  David-Clarke_: Like Shakespearian English?
  … And they do teach Latin on Duolingo.
  … I studied some old Japanese, and the professor explained how
  they knew the pronunciation has changed.
  … E.g., Japanese ‘oh’ which once was ‘woh’.
