[MPEG-OTSPEC] Defining the text shaping working group’s scope

[profirst at compuserve.com]

While I do not disagree with what Peter outlined in general, I do question where the line between plaintext and rich text should lie. If it is customary and common, e.g., for a script to be written both vertically and horizontally, even though vertical text display is commonly considered to be a formatting or shaping issue, I feel it should be, for that script, part of its plaintext properties. If this makes implementation and documentation difficult, so be it.
