   atsushi: Still discussing with r12a
   … about changes section.
   … Development of the Rec
   … most of the history disappeared
   … I worry about if we break the names of the orgs that
   contributed.
   … most of the active contributors in the editors list, but not
   sure I have their @@
   … Merge them into... may have missing items
   … I would keep the affiliations, but not correct them.

   about.

   … I proposed you put the affiliation s at the time in brackets
   after the name.

   addison: They put in a note. I'm going back in to see if any of
   our strategies applies.

   <atsushi> +1

   addison: Do we need to chnage the label from tracker to
   needs-resolutiion?

   xfq: Yes, I think so

   r12a: When we remove pending labels, we should add t: label
   … and maybe language-specific labels as well.

   addison: Agreed

   r12a: Look through specdev and find the related section, The ID
   of that section gives you the label

  [string-search] Sequences with variation selectors

   ectors

     [31] https://deploy-preview-24--w3c-string-search.netlify.app/#variation-selectors

   xfq: We discussed this once before and I made some chnages.
   Added a table with examples. Changed the section name to
   mention variation selectors.
   … Not only applies to ideographs.

   addison: Might want to include a search term in example 5 that
   includes a variation selector

   xfq: Add a new row?

   addison: Yes

   r12a: If you have more than one row, the contents need to tbe
   aligned at the top
   … To make it clearer
   … Our default table style probably doesn't do that.

   addison: Can also break up separate cells
   … match/doesn't match checkbox-y thing

   xfq: I'll try to tweak it

   r12a: In that case merge the 3 cells on the left

   addison: Otherwise looks good
   … DO we want to say thing about other language variation
   selectors?

   r12a: May want to say that other languages have variation
   selectors.
   … Example is perhaps not explicit enough.

   xfq: I'll add that.

   r12a: Some change to specdev is needed for scripts that keep
   conjuncts together.
   … Not sure it is significant for this document.

   <addison> [32]https://w3c.github.io/bp-i18n-specdev/#characters

     [32] https://w3c.github.io/bp-i18n-specdev/#characters

     [34] https://r12a.github.io/scripts/bali/ban_vocab.html

   r12a: If you clikc on the green term, you'll get a breakdown of
   the combining character sequences. If you click on the green
   button at the bottom of the list you'll get the grapheme
   clusters.

   addison: What is the issue with "user-perceived character" in
   Unicode?

   r12a: They are not necesarily perceived as a character by the
   user.
   … "Typographic unit" may be better.

     [38] https://github.com/w3c/typography/issues/88

   <gb> [39]Issue 88 Use title case? (by xfq)

     [39] https://github.com/w3c/typography/issues/88

   xfq: I propsoe we use title case for @@, too.
   … I have a pull request for that
   … I don't thing we have guidelines for that in W3C.

   <addison> [40]https://www.w3.org/TR/typography/

     [40] https://www.w3.org/TR/typography/

   r12a: The docs that use titlecase use it only on H1, don't
   they?

   addison: In the doc ^^, the auto-generated titles use
   titlecase.
   … I'm used to seeing titlecase all the time. When I edit, I
   usually use it.

   r12a: I tend to use downcase section headings.

   You can see whether addison or r12a edited by looking at the
   uppercase. :-)

   xfq: This issue is specifically about the document title, not
   the section titles.

   addison: Not sure it matters.

   r12a: Happy to use titlecase on the document title.

   No objections to titlecase for the document title. xfq will
   merge the PR
