   addison: last comment in the issue, I was pushing personally,
   not to do that
   … if the content of auto are all neutrals, make sense to meet
   with

   <addison> my comment: [35]whatwg/html#10097 (comment)

     [35] https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/10097#issuecomment-2371483752

   r12a: I see comment from fantasai there

   addison: my point is why we should do this way

   r12a: fantasai seems to propose huristic based one

   [checking browser behavior using bidi text demo tool]

   r12a: one problem, difference between hebrew and arabic, in
   terms of number ordering

   addison: still expecting to be default to surrounding text

   r12a: using not number but range like 10-20, change happends
   between two

   addison: if no strong character in sequence

   addison: agreed on concern, and propose to reopen this with
   statement on concern

   r12a: suggest to provide simple example and explanation

  Specdev PR about characters and truncation

   <gb> [37]Pull Request 153 Rewrite the character introduction
   (by aphillips)

   deploy-preview-153--bp-i18n-specdev.netlify.app/#characters

     [38] https://deploy-preview-153--bp-i18n-specdev.netlify.app/#characters

   addison: kind of wanting to have more meta conversation

   addison: making terminology consistent, and fix truncation
   stuff

   <r12a> [39]https://www.w3.org/International/articles/
   definitions-characters/index.en.html#characters

     [39] https://www.w3.org/International/articles/definitions-characters/index.en.html#characters

   r12a: it's best to make sure people can understand mustard
   stuff, mustard is the core of this document

   addison: need to review mustards in character section coming
   from charmod

   <Bert> ("back of a napkin": isn't it "back of an envelop" or
   just "napkin"?)

   xfq: not all of description in non-mustard is essential

   xfq: suggesting, going through non-mustard part

   addison: I have thought about removing the example boxes and
   just making all the text flat

   r12a: that would be a bit heavy

   addison: I would be totally happy not to have any of these
   because I'm rewriting Essentials

   r12a: and it may be that we need to improve Essentials

   addison: A) I could commit this and then we can iterate
   … B) I can push this to one side and we try it the other
   direction
   … I should merge this to the ED
   … and we'll work on the truncating separately from the
   characters section

   r12a: sounds good

   addison: I could revert the truncation part and put it in
   another PR

   r12a: thank you addison for doing all this stuff
