      [30] https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/10844

    addison: About ellipsis insertion in bidi scope.
    … My tendency is to expect the ellipsis on the outside, not
    necessarily the end of the text.

    xfq: Will need to read this. There is also a Japanese example
    with a small comma.
    … Maybe related to line breaking.

    addison: Line breaking rules not necessarily related to where
    the ellipsis goes.

    xfq: Yes, the ellipsis could go in the middle of an English
    word, which would be ambiguous.

    <addison> مصر: ⁦Call me...⁩

    r12a: My pref is the ‘call me bob’ one with the ellipses at the
    end of the English text (the image before the horizontal line)

    Bert: I think I'd prefer the ellipsis on the outside.

    <addison> مصر: Call me...

    r12a: Maybe if it is replacing latin letters with ‘...’, it
    could insert an lrm

    addison: If you just let the bidi algo figure it out, then when
    you expand the box, the letters appear where you expect.
    … The ellipsis may still be ‘wrong’ some of the time.

    r12a: When an ellipsis is introduced in a piece of text, the
    browser is almost always going to have to chnage the text. The
    ellipsis is not in the source text.
    …
    … So you could also add a LRM or something.

    addison: Florian's comment says the direction depends on the
    surrounding block.
    … Maybe the trick is to put a direction mark on the next elided
    character, and then let bidi do its thing.

    r12a: Yes, and in Arabic text probably a RLM.

    addison: If the next character were arabic, you might not know
    what mark to use.

    r12a: I think just look at the first character that is taken
    out.
    … and put the direction mark after the ellipsis.

    addison: I guess that could work...

    addison: Any corner cases for ALM to be used?

    addison: Who want to reply to the issue?

    ACTION: addison: write back on css 10844 saying maybe RLM/LRM
    from direction of elided chars

    <gb> Created [32]action #119

   TPAC Preparation

    addison: I think our meetings are scheduled. We have quite an
    array of them.
    … I'm starting on th eagenda, That will be a topic next week.
    … We meet Monday and Friday as a WG.
    … We'll probably do telcon-like things in the morning, for
    timezone reasons.
    … Friday only meeting in the morning.
    … WCAG on THursday.
    … CSS late on Tuesday.

      [33] https://www.w3.org/2024/09/TPAC/schedule.html

    addison: Anybody has any topics we should work on.

    xfq: We should have an agenda in the calendar.

    addison: Yes, will do that.
    … What do we put on Monday and Friday?

    xfq: We can schedule some of our own issues.

    xfq: string search...

    addison: timezones...
    … and language negotiation.
    … So that is your home work: come up with topics.

    xfq: We can still ask people on Monday and Tuesday who haven't
    voted on the charter yet.
    … Although, if the charter expires, we can still continue, just
    not publish.

   AOB?

    xfq: We also need to look into potential topics for the joint
    meetings.

    addison: Yes, we need to be prepared.
    … Next Tuesday there is a CSS-I18N call, where this will be the
    main topic.
    … Not sure what the topics for the WCAG joint meeting will be.

    xfq: One thing to discuss is the ‘programmatically determined’
    issue we talked about before.

    xfq: regrets for next Tuesday.
