"Permissive Exit" email thread

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/2013OctDec/0002.html

richard: Paul Cotton sent an email pointing out things needing attention to get html through CR
... the WAI people pointed to some issues
... and the first was to do with 'lang' attribute
... and pointed to a bug in which Amir Ahroni
... said lang should influence dir
... and Aharon created a separate bug about isolation
... I think WAI is pointed to wrong bug---they want the isolation bug
... and the 'lang' bug needs more discussion
... and would be applied after CR

<r12a> https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18490

<r12a> https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22326

richard: bug 18490 would leave making @lang bidi isolating

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23260

richard: waiting for Aharon to come back on the above bug
... WAI thinks that isolation on @dir is important
... but that seems to be the wrong bug for tracking it

<scribe> ACTION: addison: ping Aharon to respond to 23260 (as well as 18490/22326) [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/10/03-i18n-minutes.html#action05]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-270 - Ping aharon to respond to 23260 (as well as 18490/22326) [on Addison Phillips - due 2013-10-10].

addison: we discussed previously and should have thread about it

richard: best for Aharon to say that previous discussion led to a different consensus, that we studied the compatibility issue
... think we know better now

addison: I think we previously convinced Ian that there might be a compatibility issue, but we've since studied it

'Tr' defaulting behavior in Vertical Text

we intend to take this up next week as our hour is up
