The script is generally implicit in the text.

You want to rely on automatic detection of scripts depending on the
language chosen? Do you plan to implement that? However, even then the
resulting tag would include the script code if it wasn't the default
script of the language.

Almost every character in Unicode has a script property, the exceptions
is characters that has Inherit (unusually combining marks) or Common
(punctuation mostly), put there is a simple and pretty reliable way to
resolve the script of those characters from the context.

We already handle this at the text shaping level in VCL for platforms
where HarfBuzz is used.

Khaled
