    <gb> Issue 1846 not found

    <addison> [29]w3c/i18n-activity#1846

      [29] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1846

    <gb> [30]Issue 1846 Improve handling of malformed unicode bidi
    control characters (by w3cbot) [pending] [tracker] [s:html]
    [spec-type-issue] [alreq] [hlreq] [whatwg]

      [30] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1846

    addison: break isolation by inserting individual bidi control
    sequences into text

    xfq: they seem wanted to update behaviors?

    addison: only happens when user inputs bidi controls

    addison: challenge is easy to describe but hard to implement

    r12a: should already happen within content editable ones

    addison: it seems, to isolate unicode bidi with inserting
    specifical bdi/bdo-s

    xfq: bdi is designed to isolate bidi control, but bidi control
    characters are directly inserted, it will be broken..
    … may need to think about side effects

    xfq: have we WG consensus on this?

    addison: I think we want to right things happen...
    … solution could be more complex than he coded here

    addison: like pdi or fsi

    [pending] [tracker] [s:webextensions] [cg:webextensions]

      [34] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/1844

    addison: it's to get OS language to be used by browser

    xfq: without using browser accept-language, but system language

    r12a: it's good to be aware of accept-language, not OS language

    atsushi: if Accept-Language in English but OS lang is Japanese
    … from i18n point of view it might be better to get these kind
    of information
    … but maybe there are privacy concerns

    addison: it's super common that browser set language from OS
    one

    addison: would ping them that privacy is aware on this change
