* stage: Ready for checkin => Design decision needed
Comment:
This is not something that can be moved straight to ready for checkin.
There are a large number of assumptions being made here that require some
thinking.
One obvious technical question is what is the common font support like in
different browsers on different platforms for these particular Unicode
codepoints? There's a good argument for including conversions for 1/2,
1/3, 1/4, 3/4, say, since they have good font coverage. Anything beyond
that is going to need more supporting evidence to suggest it's a good
idea. If we don't have solid coverage in all common fonts, we are
basically saying "don't use this, because most of your users won't be able
to see some of the results".
I'm also not in favour of the sup/sub changes for other fractions at the
moment. It's not particularly semantic.
This requires a design decision and before we can make that (for the first
point), cross-browser, cross-platform data is needed.
