What is the intended loudness at weight 599?

Hm. Now I wonder if this could/should be modelled by deltas?

wdth 75 => +6
wdth 100 => +0
wght 600 => +15
wght 800 => +75

(I still wonder what wght 599 scores, it would be a bit odd if it jumped directly from 15 to 0)

What is the intended loudness at weight 599?

If we let the RBF interpolation do its thing, we'll get a value less than 10. This is what happens in my demo, https://google.github.io/fonts/vf-tag-demo2.html adjust the weight slider and you'll see you'll get values less than the minimum tag, which is also 10.

If we don't like this behaviour, we should instead be defining the coordinate when the score is 0.

We could also treat it like a designspace aka don't allow extrapolation so it will literally be 0 for any value outside the range of 600-800.

IIRC we ruled out RBF and planned to use "normal" VF interpolation, @nyshadhr9 is that right?

My intuition is this may be what we want, making triangles of influence, say loud is 0 at 400, high at 900, in traditional VF style.

Yes, that's right - we will go with linear/multilinear interpolation.
Marc and I talked offline. Looks like supporting something like a step function - loud between 600 and 800 but not below or above those values - might be helpful too. I think we should be able to support that, but we need to come up with a way to specify this when assigning tags.

Here's a new demo that uses linear interpolation and doesn't allow extrapolation, https://google.github.io/fonts/vf-tag-demo-linear.html. Imo this feels like the right direction. People adding the tags should also be thinking "when does 0 start for this tag"
