<aphillip> richard: discuss document
richard: wrote article that shows how to markup ruby and outlines conformance
<darobin> [motivation is essentially from http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby-use-cases/ and http://fantasai.inkedblade.net/weblog/2011/ruby/]
fantasai: discusses ruby use
cases
... css engine must implement 2 layout models for ruby.
... html5 model for ruby is sufficient for simple cases
... more complicated use cases require more markup
... ruby model requires a lot of explicit markup
fantasai: double sided ruby requires additional rtc tag
<aphillip> rb.rb.rt.rt.rb.rb.rt.rt
richard: clarifies point in discussion of ruby
<r12a> http://rishida.net/misc/ruby/ruby-authoring.html
…refer to section 1.1 and 1.3
fantasai: what inline behavior is wanted?
…problem with 3.3 is that we don't have enough information
…word boundaries aren't available
…what fallback behavior is wanted?
…from layout perspective, supporting all 3 is complicated
addison: next steps?
... html group will publish extension spec
... document looks good
<aphillip> addison: to endorse, we would solicit larger feedback from winter@ and cjk@
richard: problems: how to attach styling to rb
… and fallback
darobin; provides options including changing html parser
….can also expose as api
richard: should we specify default locations for base?
richard: need implementation before end of year to include double sided ruby
fantasai: will require change to over/under
<aphillip> richard: max of 2 sets per base

<trackbot> Created ACTION-188 - Merge ruby documents for publication as a WG Note [on Richard Ishida - due 2013-02-28].
richard: suggests that using language isn't right approach
<Najib-ma> Hello all,
<Najib-ma> I'm not in favor of @lang attribute (also) for bidi purpose
<Najib-ma> @lang attribute may be used for the purpose of rendering; e.g. speech, styling, font-type/size), etc. In general not to change direction of text.
<Najib-ma> That's all
aharon: provides example of phone number that should be isolated and lang is inappropriate
addison: need to finalize directionality first
<aphillip> aharon: @dir vs @direction, problem with length of name? discuss with fantasai
richard: admits that "direction" is long, but suggests that it is self-describing
fantasai: suggests that transition costs is high
richard: want to move to an attribute based solution
<aphillip> addison: thanks, we agreed to deal with direction first and may consider @lang in the future
fantasai: lri aproach isn't confusing
r12a: we'd welcome an alternative name for direction but we couldn't come up with anything as straightforward and intuitive - note that we intend to replace dir with it - we discussed all these things already and tried to summarise in the wiki page
<aphillip> fantasai: whitespace skip
<aphillip> ... should that be Unicode space class charactes
<aphillip> ... or also separators like ethoipic word space
richard: suggests that question be asked on email list
<aphillip> richard: ask in email
<aphillip> http://www.w3.org/International/wiki/CharmodNormProposal2013
addison: rewriting requirements, asking others to review
<aphillip> aharon: set up a time to discuss direction
<aphillip> ... need live time
<aphillip> addison: next week or sooner?
<aphillip> ... will reserve major block next week for bidi
