DR 10-0027 ? WML: Unreadable figures

[Chris Rae]

Okay... let me see how much work it's going to be having an MS person generate higher-resolution versions of these images.

First, I strongly doubt that the second figure and "If Latin text is interspersed on this line, then it is placed across the number of grid units needed to fit the content, but all other grid positions are unaffected."
in 17.6.5 means something unacceptable for Japanese typographers.
But neither the text nor the images are clear enough.

Note: See  (note 1) in 2.2.3 Elements of Page Formats in
http://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#en-subheading1_1_3

It is important to make image files in this subclause clearer, for the discussion of Kihon-hanmen in the Japanese NWIP.

If the file size is a problem, use simple kanji characters such as 
U+53E3.
