Fwiw, Arabic language text doesn't normally hyphenate at all. If the Arabic script is used to write Uighur language text, however, hyphenation is used, and the shaping is needed. Note also that the 'hyphen' itself looks like and probably is U+0640 ARABIC TATWEEL, separated from the preceding characters by a small space. For examples, see https://r12a.github.io/scripts/arabic/images_ug/large/shanjak_kizti_may11_2002_lr.jpg Is using the system locale something you want to change in the spec, or do you want to conform to the current spec? It seems to me that using the system locale could be problematic if someone who normally works in a language such as Uighur (or numerous others that use special characters or placement of 'hyphens', or no hyphenation, like Arabic) opens a page in English that doesn't have the language information set. They'll see some odd effects where the English text is hyphenated. Re:system locale - I don’t have sufficient evidence that the spec should change. We had concerns about web compat, because lots of web content is not language tagged (so this change would break that content), but I believe all other browsers follow the spec. We should at least try to change WebKit to match the spec and see if it causes breakage. Ideally this would add animation support for this property in CSSPropertyAnimation. See the many uses of DiscretePropertyWrapper, this will likely be a one-liner. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 243670 *** |
