SP: editors of CSS Namespace contacted us to find if formal objection; we said yes, if comment rejected; spoke with chair of WG and he said it hadn't been discussed -- was a decision by fiat by the editors -- means we are in limbo awaiting a formal response from WG -- had separate discussion with CSS WG that i didn't copy to XHTML2 list because according to charter, they are member-only, and i quoted member-only text so couldn't forward to XHTML2 list

Roland: I would like us to have a document that follows the guidelines as an example
14:35:31 [oedipus]
q+
14:36:20 [Steven]
Steven: We need to point out that they are guidelines, and not requirements
14:36:45 [oedipus]
Steven, were you referring to A.7? -- lang attribute important for natural language switching in speech output and braille output (every DAMN country has its own braille code)
14:37:03 [oedipus]
same with screen magnifiers -- need to get the right charset for the lang declaration
14:38:01 [Steven]
OK Oediupus, thanks
14:38:13 [Steven]
and do they do xml:lang?
14:38:42 [oedipus]
some do the xml:lang, such as Orca (screen-reader braille-output for GNOME)
14:38:44 [Steven]
Shane: validators do something with @lang
14:39:02 [Steven]
... and I'm not sure what we should do about it
14:39:07 [Steven]
... especially with RDFa
14:39:33 [Steven]
... since XHTML1.1+RDFa does not have @lang, only @xml:lang
14:40:35 [Steven]
Steven: The provblem only arises if you are unable to tell the UA the language of the document
14:41:08 [oedipus]
GJR: don't have definitive list, but will check on xml:lang support especially in open source community
14:41:18 [Steven]
thanks

14:42:32 [Steven]
Shane: THe othjer issue is about referencing style elements
14:42:46 [Steven]
Shane: I think we should say not to use stylesheet declarations
14:42:56 [Steven]
s/use/use XML /
14:43:02 [oedipus]
GJR: commercial assistive tech vendors rely on "lang" because it is far more likely to be present (so they assume) than xml:lang
14:45:49 [Steven]
Shane: Shall we keep the recommendation to use XML stylesheets?
14:45:58 [Steven]
Steven: I don't think we need to
14:46:02 [Steven]
