<Aharon> What's a url for the IRI WG?

Bidi WG Note progress

includes discussion of html bugs

Aharon: only got to start wading through traffic today
... wouldn't say its going badly
... some things accepted
... some thing rejected
... some were expected to be rejected
... some suggested slightly different form
... not broken-hearted at present

<scribe> ... in process of responding

Richard: a bit frustrated that I haven't had time to get to it all
... some things can be put off to CSS
... may be some things to be careful about, such as default behavior in absence of style sheet
... so dir=rtl is defined in html for default case
... should examine carefully whether to hold ground on these issues
... should insure that we refer folks to our document
... so that there is background for bug responders
... not all cases can be described solely by css
... utf-16 charset meta
... getting some pushback
... I don't find arguments convincing; also in polyglot
... will reply
