Dear ODF TC members
Following our discuss at the last meeting, I asked Murata-san about this issue. I have received the following reply:
First, the latest version of text-justify is available at https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/#text-justify-property. It appears to be widely implemented. See https://caniuse.com/?search=text-justify I have heard no discussions about it in the W3C Japanese Layout Requirement Taskforce. So my recommendation is to adopt the latest version of text-justify.
I had a quick look at Yoshida-san's proposal. I do not think that introducing a mechanism specific to vertical writing is a good idea.
He is no longer active in this area.
I hope that this will assist us in resolving whether to close or defer the issue.
Kind regards,
Francis
