The suggested text is not an improvement, it's worse:
- Replacement of "tailor" with "extend" is incorrect, since sometimes
(as in Thai) they are decomposed.
- Tailorings do not always depend on the content language. They may
depend on one or more of the following:
- script
- content language
- font style
and possibly
- typesetting preferences, in cases where multiple options are
considered valid and reasonable
Rejecting this comment as no change, since I think the dictionary
definition of "typographic tradition" is sufficiently precise.
Note that exact tailorings are out-of-scope for the CSS spec. If
a spec is needed, it should be requested as an expansion of UAX29.
