This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
--- Summary of the problem: Both the selector and the rbPointer attributes are described as selecting the ruby base text. (See http://www.w3.org/International/its/itstagset/itstagset.html#ruby-implementation) --- Proposed solution: We remove the rbPointer attribute. It is currently optional and since its function is currently also implemented with the selector attribute the implementation does not really change (except that we eliminate a potential conflict). Current example would be still fine. This would be a bug fix not a substantive change. The people who attended Today's teleconference were in agreement with this change. If there is no dissent by Monday (Sep-25, 15:00GMT) the editors will make the change.
No objections to removing the rbPointer attribute. The change has been implemented in the specification.
I'm satisfied. -yves
Closed
Summary: The Working Group agreed that the functionality of the two attributes is identical and decided to remove the rbPointer attribute.
