A lot of these breaks need some amount of prioritization in order to work correctly. See, for example, this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389710 We do normatively require the behavior defined for the following categories: BK, CR, LF, CM, NL, SG, WJ, ZW, GL, CJ I think I'd be OK to include the restrictions for opening and closing punctuation... however, since there are very real problems with simply adopting the UAX14 pairs table, I don't want to normatively require its implementation. As Koji says, adopting UAX14 wholesale would require a very detailed review of UAX14, its compatibility with dumb line-breaking algorithms like a pairs table without prioritization, and Web-compatibility. And that is not a task we'd like to tackle right now. ~fantasaiReceived on Friday, 25 July 2014 18:53:09 UTC
