ITS 2.0 directionality

<r12a> http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-its20-20121206/#directionality

Richard: Norbert wrote draft and I added some tweaks:

<r12a> - Remove "This section is informative."

<r12a> - Replace the first Note with: "At the time of writing, enhancements are being discussed in the context of HTML that will change the approach to marking up directionality markup in HTML, especially to support content whose directionality needs to be isolated from the directionality of surrounding content. However, these enhancements are not finalized yet. This section therefore reflects directionality markup in HTML 4; enhancements in HTML5 will be reflected in a future revision."

<r12a> - In 8.5.2, add a Note to the description of LOCAL use: "HTML does not have the "lro" and "rlo" values for its dir attribute, so these values are not used for HTML documents. HTML uses an inline bdo element instead.

<r12a> - In the Note in 8.5.1, correct the value of the third bullet to "lro", and the description in the fourth bullet to "right-to-left override".

<r12a> - In Appendix A, add a normative reference to HTML 4.01.

<r12a> - Enhance example 46 with use of "rlo": Add to the description ", except that bdo elements with that attribute have right-to-left override content". Add a second rule: '<its:dirRule dir="rlo" selector="//bdo[@direction='rtlText']"/>'.

<r12a> also extend the example 45 to use bdo

<scribe> ACTION: Richard: send note with updated text for directionality to MLW-LT [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/02/07-i18n-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-182 - Send note with updated text for directionality to MLW-LT [on Richard Ishida - due 2013-02-14].

CharMod norm

<aphillip> http://www.unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2013-m02/0007.html

Addison: tried to address discussion on Unicode list
... it's time to fix charmod-norm
... current recommendations are not useful, but are misunderstood as W3C recommendations
... should put together shorter charmod-norm

<scribe> ACTION: Addison: write draft of new charmod-norm [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/02/07-i18n-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-183 - Write draft of new charmod-norm [on Addison Phillips - due 2013-02-14].

CSS3 text decoration

Addison: sent some comments to CSS privately:

<aphillip> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/2013JanMar/0203.html

Addison: led to discussion, especially about ruby and emphasis marks
... discussion within Amazon: emphasis marks should be in their own font to remain consistent
... emphasis marks should stay close to text, so may have to alter position around ruby
... other issue about underlining and white space
... don't know what correct handling is for all writing systems
