(In reply to comment #10) > So what will the change be? CSS Lists Level 3 has accepted the position that the CSS default, list-style-position:outside, will now mean that the marker position is dependent on the list element direction, not the list item direction. (Backward compatibility was decided not to be a factor because browser behavior was not interoperable anyway.) It would still be best if the HTML5 default style sheet had li { text-align: match-parent; } -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
