richard: shouldn't be a problem, and they are only cosmetic (you can read the article equally well without them)

richard: how to deal with search information in the correct language
[1] search engines typically ignore language declarations these days, and instead analyse the language of the page using their own algorithms. (This does not negate the value of declaring the language of your page, since that information can be used for purposes other than search engine retrieval.)
[2] the articles cited above refer to the use of meta elements to describe metadata about the language of the document. There have been discussions about the meta content-language element in the HTML5 Working Group recently. A decision is still pending, but it seems likely that that element will be removed from HTML5 (at which point we will rewrite our advice). There is no clear alternative way of specifying language-related metadata being proposed to
norbert: mention lang attribute
being used by screen readers (for example)
... so it is useful
richard: may need to reinforce
<kennyluck> +1 to mention how lang is used by other UAs
richard: that it is useful for some things
http://www.w3.org/International/docs/unicode-xml/
only one substantive change
richard: moved comments to www-international
addison: need to address charmod-norm
richard: next step is go to
Unicode Editorial committee
... in the meantime we would look at substantive changes
... some things not closed, e.g. <br> tag
addison: need to tell both unicode and the public that a revision is coming
norbert: mostly to update to
unicode 6.0
... a number of character tables
... do these need to be updated? were they checked?
richard: weren't going to address now?
norbert: would need to update lists with any new characters that fit
richard: put that to unicode
edcom
... let them decide if any characters should be "xml deprecated
from birth"
<scribe> ACTION: addison: propose advancement of UTR#20 to publication based on our revision and noting that we plan a substantive revision [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2011/02/16-i18n-minutes.html#action02]
