This is a part of the proposals made by the "Additional Requirements for Bidi in HTML" W3C First Public Working Draft. For a full description of the use cases, please see http://www.w3.org/International/docs/html-bidi-requirements/#title-and-dir [http://www.w3.org/International/docs/html-bidi-requirements/#title-and-dir] . 40591 1 ian 2010-10-04 23:48:23 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

Please let me know if the text I ended up using is ok. (It's slightly complicated by the interactions of HTML and SVG.) 40592 2 contributor 2010-10-04 23:49:07 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r5579. Check-in comment: Try to clarify that <title> directionality affects the use of the title outside the document. http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=5578&to=5579 40719 3 aharon.lists.lanin 2010-10-06 15:45:13 +0000 The change looks good. It is possible to make it even clearer by inserting the following after "<span>the directionality</span> of that <code>title</code> element": "e.g. as set by the <code>dir</code> attribute on it or an ancestor". It is up to you. Thanks!
