For background, Annex 14 is very permissive, implicitly allowing line
breaks wherever they are not explicitly disallowed and does not, for
example, disallow breaks following closing punctuation, allowing for
example, this break:
"e.
g., a thing"
That is, Annex 14 allows this break, even though it would be wrong in any
Western language I'm familiar with.
However, the statement is incorrect. UAX#14 allows breaks after closing
punctuation, but not if it precedes alphabetic characters.
There are no breaks in "e.g.", but there is a break in "...tailoring.
These...", since there is a space after the ".".
After I wrote the reply, I checked and found out that (contrary to what I
remembered) UAX#14 does appear to allow such breaks. However, that is an
oversight, not a design decision, and I've started steps to fix that.
I will propose at the next UTC that this gets fixed by adding a rule 19b
IS x AL
and changing the appropriate cell from _ to % in the pair table.
If there are other errata for the report, I would be interested in finding
out about them.
