RE: [ACTION-217] - StorageSize linebreaks

Hi Felix,

 

That is a good point.

We don’t really need a pointer for lineBreakType since the values could be mapped directly in global rules.

 

Looking at the text you cited below, I wonder about LocaleFilter. Is the value of localeFilterList can be considered a close set of values? It’s really an expression.

Hi Yves,

 

sounds good. I'm just wondering whether we need the "pointer" attribute - for other global rules with a fixed set of values we didn't have them and also said that in the spec:

 

"Each data category allows users to add information to the selected nodes except for  <http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#language-information> language information. Pointing to existing information is not possible for data categories that express a closed set of values, that is:  <http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#trans-datacat> Translate,  <http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#directionality> Directionality,  <http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#LocaleFilter> Locale Filter, and <http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#elements-within-text> Elements Within Text."

 

Above list also needs to be updated, it seems.

 

Best,

 

Felix

Hi all,

Here is an initial proposal for dealing with the type of line breaks for the Storage Size data category:

For the global rule we would add:

None or exactly one of the following two attributes:

- lineBreakType="lf|cr|crlf|nel" where:

lf means the linebreak is U+000A (e.g. Linux)
cr means the linebreak is U+000D (e.g. Macintosh)
crlf means the linebreak is U+000D followed by U+000A (Windows)
nel means the linebreak is U+0085 (e.g. EBCEDIC systems)

(Note: I don't include 'rs' for U+001E used in pre-POSIX QNX systems as it is obsolete)
(Note: I've included 'nel' for EBCEDIC, but I really wonder about this)

- lineBreakTypePointer: a relative XPath expression pointing to an attribute or element with the exact same semantics as lineBreakPointer.


For the local markup we would add:

An optional lineBreaType="lr|cr|crlf|nel" (same as above).

The default value would be 'lf' in all cases.


Cheers,
-yves
