AFAIK no browser currently does this, but it's good to document and require it. I'll go as far as saying that a new property might be in order. For example, I can imagine, though not find in my references, that depending on taste, one may or may not want joining in a drop-cap in Arabic. I don't think padding / margins should be relevant at all. Letter-spacing doesn't disable Arabic shaping. Why should any other space do? As for what should by default disable shaping across boundaries, I don't know. Whatever initiates bidi:isolate is a good starting place indeed. -- behdad http://behdad.org/
