--- Comment #11 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
I don't believe Khaled has volunteered to tackle the needed refactoring to the
PDF export filter and GUI.  Check History--clearly not assigned as Khaled
removed himself, back to NEW

Otherwise, is there any objection that implementing an /ActualText flag "per
word" will mean string selection to copy from PDF will be limited to word
bounds? Personally I think we need the tagging more than the partial string
copy. 

Assuring correct handling combining glyphs and Unicode script--and presumably
OTF font features when implemented (as for bug 58941)--is the desired outcome.

Justified from a11y perspective, and needed for accuracy supporting CTL
scripts. 

Is that the UX consensus?
