ISSUE-35 (New attribute: ubi)<http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/35> I had left http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10807 open only because I was not 100% sure that it was a good idea that the <output> element was also defined to have isolation by default. But I never did make up my mind that it was a bad idea, so I have no intention to make a Last Call about it. Just forget about this.
15:27:29 [aphillip]
aharon: need for bidi isolatoin. fixed by <bdi>
15:27:53 [aphillip]
... did not close this bug because html5 made one of the new elements (output) isolated by default
15:28:03 [aphillip]
... not sure if that's the right choice
15:28:34 [aphillip]
richard: looked at a couple of days ago and not sure if it still says that
15:28:41 [aphillip]
aharon: it's the default stylesheet
15:28:46 [aphillip]
... that would say that
15:28:52 [aphillip]
... not the spec itself so much
15:29:31 [r12a]
10.3.5 Bidirectional text
15:29:52 [r12a]
bdi, output, [dir=auto] { unicode-bidi: isolate; } /* case-insensitive */
15:31:56 [aphillip]
okay to close
15:32:04 [aphillip]
ISSUE-36 (New dir attribute value: auto, and a new attribute: autodirmethod)<http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/36> Both http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10808 and http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11734 were fixed and are closed. The issue should be closed.

ISSUE-43 (Block-display elements should act as UBA paragraph breaks)<http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/43> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11829* is important and is still awaiting action by the editor.*
15:33:01 [aphillip]
aharon: issue is now wider
15:33:04 [aphillip]
bug is 11829
15:33:31 [aphillip]
aharon: default stylesheet is non-normative and not very descriptive
15:33:39 [aphillip]
... and doesn't tell you what is supposed to be happening
15:33:45 [aphillip]
... in words
15:33:55 [aphillip]
... and HTML5 doesn't described
15:34:12 [aphillip]
s/described/describe Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm/
15:34:16 [aphillip]
... how to apply it
15:34:19 [aphillip]
... etc.
15:34:30 [aphillip]
aharon: CSS spec (writing-mode)
15:34:35 [aphillip]
... does describe this
15:34:41 [Zakim]
+??P1
15:34:52 [kojiishi]
zakim, ??p1 is me
15:34:52 [Zakim]
+kojiishi; got it
15:34:59 [aphillip]
... and default stylesheets invoke this
15:35:41 [aphillip]
aharon: so default stylesheet does define how UBA works in a non-normative and non-declarative way
15:35:51 [aphillip]
... so can't tell what the behaviors should be
15:36:06 [aphillip]
... and this was accepted by editor
15:36:23 [aphillip]
... but not present in document
15:36:42 [aphillip]
... I did provide what the text might be
15:36:48 [aphillip]
... and pinged
15:38:37 [aphillip]
addison: html5 is kind of hand-wavy about bidi
15:38:53 [aphillip]
... also, there is a reason not to have stylesheet be normative
15:40:11 [aphillip]
addison: should have a hard reference in html5
15:40:21 [aphillip]
richard: could have two stylesheets: one normative and one informative
15:41:07 [aphillip]
aharon: add section that says how bidi works in absense of css

Issue 49
15:54:40 [r12a]
http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/49
15:54:47 [r12a]
shouldn't have been filed, and works out ok
15:54:52 [r12a]
let's just closed
15:54:57 [r12a]

Issue 52
15:55:29 [r12a]
http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/52
15:55:40 [r12a]
situation is changing right now
15:55:49 [r12a]
since email sent
15:56:02 [r12a]
by default lists in html5 behave without interop between browsers
15:56:16 [r12a]
some list items are in one direction, others in another direction
15:56:23 [r12a]
at heart its a css issue
15:57:06 [r12a]
this year the css3 lists module was worked on in earnest - the way it is being addressed is far from settled - keeps changing names and approaches
15:57:29 [r12a]
in the end it should be fine on the css side, but css3 tries to be very backwards compatible
15:57:54 [r12a]
it's not clear yet whether they will decide to make the css default to be the current browser behaviour or the new behaviour
15:58:09 [r12a]
not that they like the old behaviour, it's a question of interoperability
15:58:47 [r12a]
what they want to happen if for the html5 spec to say the real desireable default in hte default stylesheet
15:59:19 [r12a]
unfortunately they still haven't decided on the syntax or whether it will be necessary to say it in the stylesheet
15:59:25 [r12a]
so it's not clear how to proceed
15:59:45 [r12a]
the editor is constantly modifying the proposal, never mind finish review
16:00:21 [r12a]
hope is to convince them to commit to new behaviour for default
16:00:35 [r12a]
aharon will be busy lobyying for that over coming days
16:00:39 [r12a]
also
16:00:54 [r12a]
default text-align is start
16:01:46 [r12a]
aharon suggested that the html5 default stylesheet should say that the default text align for li should be match-parent (already defined) - leads to uniform alignment
16:02:17 [r12a]
dependent othe the soutions proposed this is either something absolutely necessary or just ok
16:02:29 [r12a]
hopefully it will work out that its not important
16:02:40 [r12a]
so not clear whether to ask that of the html5 editor yet
16:04:38 [r12a]
so, depending on particulars of work on css lists may need some defaults set, but its not yet clear what
16:04:54 [r12a]
richard: so if all becomes clear before end of LC, we should push for that
16:05:36 [r12a]
otherwise we should lodge a flag that this is an issue still being worked on and that the spec should take into account the results of the discussion when they become available

issue 52
16:06:42 [r12a]
http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/52
16:06:53 [r12a]
mostly fixed - need to just expand on a small comment
16:07:12 [r12a]
if it doesn't happen it's not the end of the world 0- its non-normative
