richard: working on tests
<r12a> http://www.w3.org/International/tests/
richard: still a ways to go, but
rewriting many of the tests
... basic idea is to script scriptable tests
... so framework can see if tests passed or failed
... or ref tests (compare this page against a known good
page)
... rewrote framework so we can export these tests into
flatfiles
... for "test the web forward" initiative
... did some of that previously, but test framework
progressed
<scribe> ... new ones with blue background ("in development")
... organized by section of the spec being tested
richard: aharon, need to work on
bidi tests
... have a feeling some rewriting and need more tests
... share things needed?
aharon: many tests present
... test writing group working on them
... they haven't been submitted yet
... what we have could be sent, but only fraction of what's
intended
aharon: talked to CSS-WG
... current spec on ellipsis is ambiguous
... can't be interpreted as requiring logical truncation
... tried to look up discussion
... was in f2f a couple years ago
... not very detailed arguments
... responded
... mati agreed with main parts of argument, some further
detailed discussion
... could discuss minor point of where to draw ellipsis
... IE and WK put ellipsis at visual end rather than logical
end
... no action on the bug yet
... on a different but from amir ahroni
... where he asked for isolation for both lang and dir
... Hixie responded that we should clone if WHAT-WG should
consider
richard: should happen
automagically, per Robin?
... forward email to him and inquire?
<scribe> ACTION: aharon: ping Robin to notify that the bidi bug wasn't cloned to see if there's a gap in process [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/07/11-i18n-minutes.html#action01]
aharon: thinking about email to
Mark
... question posed might not want to be asked
... effect on <bdo>
... should cause more concern on regular in-line elements like
<span>
... same kind of change
action-234: need to indicate no longer interested
<trackbot> Notes added to ACTION-234 Ping Mark Davis asking if Google can get statistics on <bdo> usage.
aharon: should be isolated too
norbert: you got us space mon/tue
which are the days I can't go
... anyone else going?
<scribe> ACTION: addison: move our tpac days to thurs/fri [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/07/11-i18n-minutes.html#action02]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-240 - Move our tpac days to thurs/fri [on Addison Phillips - due 2013-07-18].
discussion of tate-chu-yoko
richard: something in open type to support
<aharon> Have to go. Bye everybody.
richard: substitution of glyphs
(so maybe half sized glyphs)
... etc.
... then use that to get right sized horizontal glyphs
... up to browser how to get these in
... solution should say something like "if you have a mechanism
such as x-and-y opentype feature"
addison: auto TCY unlikely
richard: intro to unicode:
shouldn't use zenkaku characters?
... will probably change what I say
... john d was looking for support
... if anyone interested, might want to read thread
