     [33] https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/10896

   addison: 1971, on html 10896, on ruby with bidi
   … specific issue on isolate

   atsushi: in JL-TF, this is considered as a sort of edge case,
   similar to bidi in vertical writing

   r12a: question is why you wouldn't want to isolate ruby
   elements

   ACTION: himorin: research activity 1971 (html 10896) about ruby
   bidi isolation with jltf

   Consensus to write] [Agenda+] [i18n-needs-resolution]

     [46] https://github.com/w3ctag/design-principles/issues/454

   addison: our bitestring text is slightly different from
   commenter suggested

   <addison> [47]w3c/bp-i18n-specdev#152

     [47] https://github.com/w3c/bp-i18n-specdev/issues/152

   <gb> [48]Issue 152 DOMString and protocols (by martinthomson)
   [bug] [Agenda+] [Best Practice]

     [48] https://github.com/w3c/bp-i18n-specdev/issues/152

   addison: unclear point between what this points to, in
   DOMString / ByteString

   r12a: for representation of string, need to consider its
   presentation

   addison: talking about actual layout of protocol, it's could be
   how encoded, not bytestring but sort of encoding
   … might not write in detail in specification

   JcK: more complexed point, for specification, how to composed
   for transmission another transformation might be applied, in
   underlayer protocol

   r12a: meaning application protocol should not define details?

   addison: binary data or sequence could be said as specific one,
   but not for wire transfered data

   r12a: something complex than current ones, needed?

   addison: there is sequence of bytes, any other representations
   could be over bytes

   <addison> An isomorphic string is a string whose code points
   are all in the range U+0000 NULL to U+00FF (ÿ), inclusive.

   addison: as Unicode, above

   addison: probably need to add some text here
   … bytestring is distinct from other stuff,,, or something?

   <addison> The ByteString type corresponds to byte sequences.

   <addison> [49]https://webidl.spec.whatwg.org/#idl-ByteString

     [49] https://webidl.spec.whatwg.org/#idl-ByteString

   <xfq> "Specifications should only use ByteString for
   interfacing with protocols that use bytes and strings
   interchangeably, such as HTTP."

   addison: need to work on proposal here, but wanted to talk
   within group

   <addison> [50]https://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/

     [50] https://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/

   addison: some separate document about byte and stuff...?

   addison: I may write something, as wiki like document as
   starter

   ACTION: addison: write up proposal for specdev char-string
   section, adding material that deals with the encoding interface
   et al

   <gb> Created [51]action #159

     [51] https://github.com/w3c/i18n-actions/issues/159

   <gb> Issue 634 not found

  AOB?

   r12a: looking in charmod fundamentals

   <r12a> [52]https://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/#sec-Strings

     [52] https://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/#sec-Strings

   addison: maybe what we want to publlish is a new note that
   supersedes fundamentals
   … which just has the core terminology stuff

   xfq: if the note is not long, we can just use specdev

   JcK: I worry a little bit about pushing too much into specdev,
   since nobody's going to look at specdev when developing a spec,
   isn't it?

   addison: seek to pull out and write as some text
