"The algorithm to convert a string to a number, given a string input, is as follows: If applying the rules for parsing floating point number values to input results in an error, then return an error; otherwise, return the resulting number." Does this refer to conversion of the text the user inputs into the field, ie. if the user types in 12.345,67 will the rules for parsing floating point number values be applied to that to determine whether or not that is

I imagine this will get shot down, but I've been thinking I should suggest it for some time. It's a pain in the neck to have to write both lang and xml:lang attributes on an element in a polyglot document, and I've seen plenty of pages in the wild from people who should know better where either the lang attribute is missing in XHTML 1.x but the xml:lang attribute is there, as well as vice versa. Can we not just make xml:lang a synonym of the lang attribute?
richard: rare to use both
addison: inconvenient to have to use both
http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/141
it's a typo
<scribe> chair: any opposed to these being official
(various and sundry approve)

"For each group with an odd index (as given in the second step) that did not have its digits removed in the third step, append ፻ U+137B." In the example 78010092, in ethiopic, is ፸፰፻፩፼፻፺፪ U+1378 U+1370 U+137B U+1369 U+137C U+137B U+137A U+136A, the group that contains 00 seems to have been replaced by ፻. This seems to contradict the text "did not have its digits removed in the third step".

<q> element nesting
this is to *reset* the nesting level
addison: this is to start the conversation with them
<r12a> http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/75
addison: I will supply a summary by next week of the remainder
matial: thread about direction
and how to specify on attrbitues
... like @alt
... some attributes include text that is in language and needs
a direction
... the attribute's direction is the same as that of the
element itself
... but sometimes this is inappropriate
<p lang="en">This is something with an Arabic image <img alt="CIBARA SI SIHT"></p>
rtl, ltr, auto values for 'attribdir' attribute
scribe: to override the direction
of the text in the attributes
... if specified as auto, would be computed
... discussion about what the best way to handle it is
... agreed on a proposal
... and Aharon filed a bug on HTML5
<r12a> https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16160
Norbert: similar discussion of @lang
richard: @alt and @title would be the most common case
<foo title="something" alt="else" attribdir="auto" />
<foo title="english" alt="english" lang="de">deutsch</foo>
<span title="english" lang="en"><p lang="xxx"></p></span>
<r12a> <span title="German"><a lang="de" xml:lang="de" href="/International/questions/qa-css-charset.de.php?changelang=de">Deutsch</a></span>
richard: should put into our tracker
<scribe> chair: objections to endorsing this bug?

addison: makes sense
