Web Notifications

http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/notifications/raw-file/tip/Overview.html

Norbert: raised issue 161
... no way to specify the language
... safe to say what the language is?
... does the User Agent know?
... possibility of multiple items, each tagged with a language
... so the user agent can select
... which one to display

1. The presence of 'direction' each attribute (title, body) is nice to see, but it would be good if there were also a "lang" attribute for each. Content language is used to influence the display of Notifications (line wrapping, font selection, etc.). The language attribute should be a String containing a BCP 47 language tag.

2. (Section 5). It's a little odd that title is converted to Unicode before setting the direction, while body has its direction set first. Can those be made consistent?

3. (Section 6). The Unicode Bidrectional Algorithm should be referenced directly here. As written, it's hard to understand unless one is already familiar with the concepts. Rules from UAX#9 are referenced by name here, so there should be an explicit reference to it. Note that such a reference is included in the references section already.

appears to be there now

4. (Section 7.2). Should normalization play a role in comparing 'tag' values?

think we are coming to conclusion that answer is 'no'

Ruby Document

<r12a> http://www.w3.org/International/docs/ruby/editme.html

http://www.w3.org/International/docs/ruby/editme.html

richard: not a finished item, but question is: "can I publish a new public WD"

koji: think it's good to go public

richard: add something about double-<rt>?

koji: not sure if current spec can read this way

Norbert: when reading...
... elements not defined, e.g. <rp> I *think* means parens, etc.

richard: don't hvae a link to HTML5 sections that describe ruby, etc.
... document assumes some familiarity with Ruby and HTML5 ruby
... and add links/refs

Norbert: not aware that CSS and HTML can generate DOM elements when parsing
... anonymous boxes

richard: starting to develop an opinion... maybe not change HTML5
... but might change how markup behaves
... might not need <rb> as long as can get anonymous box

norbert: multiple <rb> followed by multiple <rt>?

richard: requires singificant reengineering?
... can do nested ruby now
... and almost sort of works

Norbert: no model where can get a "yes" everywhere in table in doc

koji: fantasai and I think jukugo is a style rather than markup issue
... haven't got time right now to work on ruby styling just now
... but document describes issues and shows possible approaches

norbert: might be good to have preferred direction mentioned somewhere, if there is one?

richard: want to be neutral now?

<scribe> chair: who supports publishing as a FPWD?

<DClarke> +1

koji: yes

andrew: yes
