CSS3 Text Extensions
This paper presented the extension to the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) being currently proposed for its third version and especially addressed globalization requirements. It particularly concentrated on the following subjects:

| • | Ideal width adjustment (kerning, auto–spacing, punctuation trimming) |
| • | Text justification |
| • | Baseline alignment according to various writing systems |
The talk described the proposed new properties, the application of Unicode character properties to implement many of these features, and general implementations guidelines.
