Definition of "hanging punctuation" is meaningless. Punctuation is always on the same line as related text, the only difference is that hanging punctuation can be shifted out from normal printing area to gain better visual appearance.

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment CZ-0047 (Modified: 2008-01-04) Agreed that clarity is needed; but the statement that “punctuation is always on the same line as related text” is incorrect, and the basis for the existence of this element. An application with simple display semantics might separate a punctuation character from the text it accompanies ­ for example, using a | character to mimic the existence of the page margin: The quick brown fox jumped over the “lazy| ” dog. This element specifies that the consumer shall allow the text to overflow into the margin by one character in order to avoid this condition, *if* the overflow character is a punctuation character. To improve the clarity of this concept, the following revised description will be made in Part 4, §2.3.1.21, page 97, lines 16­20: 2.3.1.21 overflowPunct (Allow Punctuation to Extent Extend Past Text Extents) This element specifies that the text in this paragraph shall be allowed to extend one character beyond the extents applied by any indents/margins when the character that extends past the extents is a punctuation character. punctuation characters which appear at the end of text in any line in this paragraph shall be allowed to extend one character past the text extents (indents/margins) as needed in order to ensure that they are not displayed as hanging punctuation. Hanging punctuation is defined as punctuation which appears on a different line than the text which it logically would appear with.
