    Greetings!
    
    I need some help with the phrase "weak Unicode characters" in 20.346
    style:script-type, which reads (in part): 
    
    
    > The usage of this attribute simplifies transformations from and to
    > [CSS2]/[XSL] and other formats that do not have script-dependent
    > attributes, and also can be used to assign script-types to weak
    > [UNICODE] characters, where consumers may choose different script
    > types.
    > 
    
    
    Question: Does "weak [UNICODE] characters," refer to "weak types" for
    the Unicode Bi-di algorithm? If so, the "consumers" may choose different
    script types." I don't think is an accurate description of resolution of
    "weak [UNICODE] characters."
    
    Suggestions? I can apply the resolution to make this a note (which it
    clearly is) but that doesn't resolve the meaning of "weak Unicode
    characters." 
    
    Thanks!
    
    Hope everyone is having a great week!

    PS: Please pardon the lack of my usual sig. My main box died/is in the
    shop so I pulled an old Linux box out and updated the OS and have been
    using it.
