I was surprised to run into this problem today, and then to find this was first reported (5) Five Years ago.
How much longer than 5 years does the community have to wait for this? Is there any way to get this issue more attention, by virtue of how long it has been lingering? This seems like a very basic point of typography to somehow have avoided dealing with all this time.
I echo the concerns for Localization, but this is also important for Proper Nouns like Product Names, Company Names, things that one routinely encounters.
Thanks for any updates.
