Hixie's: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2010Mar/0032.html

not clear on how we actually proceed

"For meta elements with an http-equiv attribute in the Content Language state, the content attribute must have a value consisting of one or more valid BCP 47 language codes, separated by spaces. [BCP47]"

richard: new algorithm: if multiple values, then stop with no value
... but text still says...
... @lang has priority, so we're all set, except for that one sentence

<scribe> ACTION: richard: write to html-wg expressing support for editor's changes and pointing out the oversight in description of <meta> C-L's structure [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/03/31-core-minutes.html#action01]

richard: we also asked for additional note about difference between @lang and C-L
... spec says if you have C-L and no @lang, then a warning should be issued
... this could be good text for the warning
... either include our text in spec; or suggest as the note in the warning; or just put it into our documentation set
... consider for the markup document
... won't insist but will suggest for markup document

per group: make it so

norbert: language codes -> language tags

Calendaring API

richard: spoke to some Korean folks at AC and they showed me Korean traditional calendar on an iPhone
... and ability to flip between them

<scribe> ACTION: Norbert: respond to DAP WG with a more comprehensive description of the problem of converting calendars and invite further conversation (shared telecon ??) [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/03/31-core-minutes.html#action02]

Bidi WG Note progress

richard: Aharon did provide a list of issues
... but only to me
... will reply and ask for it to go to list

AOB?

[[ Note: Implementations intending to display IRIs and IDNA addresses found in the configuration document are strongly encouraged to follow the security advice given in [UTR36]. This could include, for example, behaving as if the dir attribute had no effect on any IRI attributes, path attributes, and the author element's email attribute. ]]

addison: maybe "as if the dir attribute had no effect" => "as if the dir attribute were 'lro'"

<scribe> ACTION: Addison: write to html-wg after richard's note is sent asking for process clarification [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/03/31-core-minutes.html#action03]
