20:37:43 addison: maybe... but maybe just endorse their "willful violation" 20:38:48 addison: have a table in my day job where I do this for a variety of encodings :-) 20:38:58 richard: support writing up questions if we don't have answers 20:39:29 addison: strong feelings of opposition to what they've done? 20:39:36 richard: don't know enough yet; maybe martin? 20:39:55 richard: or possibly francois... 20:40:36 andrew: not to concerned about what they tell browser writers to do, but they need to be clear about what authors should do 20:41:28 andrew: they should provide strong guidance to authors; for example, if it is 1252, then it should be labeled windows-1252 20:41:48 mick: agree; should be fixed at the author, rather than browser, level---browsers didn't create this problem 20:41:58 addison: +1 20:43:19 ACTION: andrew: write up a position statement describing why the willful violation exists and advising authors on the Right Thing to do with encoding declaration 20:44:06 Topic: styling in HTML5 and dir on public list thread: needs follow up 20:44:15 defer for felix's attendance 20:44:44 Topic: Named entities for bidi controls vs. markup 20:44:53 ... was responding to our TPAC notes, where there was a suggestion of having the Unicode bidi controls as entities (instead of markup) 20:45:05 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-core/2007OctDec/0144.html 20:46:24 richard: the problme is that named entities don't translate well into XML 20:46:33 s/problme/problem/ 20:46:56 richard: probably should get XML 1.0 6E to incorporate some of this 20:47:08 addison: actually as named entities? 20:47:19 richard: doubt they'd consider it; there are alreasy a few in there 20:47:33 richard: HTML maybe should have some of these 20:48:12 addison: now we have two ways of marking bidi (controls vs. markup) and this would add a third 20:49:30 andrew: it gives you something to see in your ascii editor 20:50:03 andrew: no good if you're in an RTL editing environment 20:50:54 richard: anywhere you can't use markup you can't use entities either 20:51:12 richard: except for attributes or elements such as title 20:51:35 ... and entities might be valuable there 20:52:49 addison: title and attribute argument is somewhat compelling 20:53:55 ... already can put controls as NCRs... but that's not user friendly... have mysterious code point references 20:54:23 richard: but if you know these things, you probably just want the code points........ 20:54:35 richard: need to publich proposal or question for feedback 20:55:04 mick: write to winter list? 20:55:11 addison: also unicode bidi list 20:58:29 ACTION: Michael: write a proposal/summary message for eventual distribution to winter, et al, relating to doing bidi entities vs. markup vs. controls 20:59:15 send to member list; target next week if possible or the week after if no 20:59:22 s/if no/if not 20:59:59 Topic: AOB?
