Handling non-kana text for rubyAlign with spaceAround or spaceBetween

[r12a]

§ w3c/ttml2#251

[r12a]

discussion ongoing...

[r12a]

The TTML WG conclusion was:

We will create tests to verify this behaviour and will be open to implementation feedback based on the results of those tests during CR.

That would mean that for spaceBetween you'd see

|j a y  c h o u|

rather than

|jay    chou| 

I have requested information about what feedback was received during CR.

My expectation is that people working with pinyin (or, i suppose, other word-separated writing systems) will normally use the centre value, rather than spaceBetween or spaceAround, so this may be a non-issue.

Since @r12a appears happy with the conclusion of the TTML WG, I propose to close this issue.

[r12a]

Bring this up again for the next version of the spec.

[KatyMawhood]

@r12a Is there a basic timeline for spec versions that we can use as a prompt?

[aphillips]

@KatyMawhood Except in exceptional cases (cough CSS cough) there usually isn't a pre-determined next version. But any next version of a spec will become visible to us at FPWD. That would seem to be a logical place to review any holdovers?

[KatyMawhood]

Sounds like this is already set up via the recycle label. :)

[r12a]

Indeed. That's what that label is for.
