I understand that. The point neither of us can assert is that if web authors want to use CSS to make form-entered address entries into vertical flow with text-combine-horizontal: digits 2 without any pre-processing of text. My guess is no, and it looks like you think it's a valid use case.

Since both of us are based on guesses, and our guesses are different, I don't know how to find the right answer.

I'm ok to require it if you strongly insist, but if we do, I would like to make Kana as exception to convert to half-width. I thought you do not like CSS specs to have a list of code points, are you ok with this?
