This tutorial will not expose you to all of the properties planned for inclusion in CSS3 for the support of international text. It will give you a flavor of what is to come, so that you can see the potential benefits of completing the work.

None of the specifications we will discuss here are finalized.

Hopefully the tutorial will raise your expectations and motivate you, where appropriate, to become involved in bringing these modules to a final state and getting them implemented by user agents.
