If you have any good > idea to assert it more firmly to either way, that'd be great. Koji, we're specifying a spec for web content not for Word/Ichitaro/InDesign. If existing web forms on some Japanese sites already require the use of full-width digits for address entry, it doesn't make sense to assert that there won't be content using full-width digits when those same addresses happen to be displayed vertically. That's why we need to specify 'text-combine-horizontal' with enough specificity so that the quality of display of such content will be consistent across user agents. Cheers, John
