WEB I18N GAP FIXED:
All 3 major browser engines now support the ability to create custom counter styles.

This is a significant step forward in enabling fully interoperable list numbering and other counters that reflect local approaches, especially for languages with smaller speaker populations.

WEB I18N GAP FIXED: Interoperable emphasis marks

Chinese and Japanese have a native way of indicating emphasis for short ranges of inline text which involves placing a small mark above or below the characters being emphasised in horizontal text, and to the right/left in vertical text.

This is now supported, using CSS, in all 3 major browser engines.
