http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8523 Summary: WYSYWYG tools should gather semantic information Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Keywords: a11y Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: HTML5 spec bugs AssignedTo: dave.null@w3.org ReportedBy: jeanne@w3.org QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: ian@hixie.ch, mike@w3.org, public-html@w3.org, public- html-a11y@w3.org HTML5 says (in the section "Authoring tools and markup generators"): "However, WYSIWYG tools are legitimate. WYSIWYG tools should use elements they know are appropriate, and should not use elements that they do not know to be appropriate. This might in certain extreme cases mean limiting the use of flow elements to just a few elements, like div, b, i, and span and making liberal use of the style attribute." AUWG Comment: Suggest stating that WYSIWYG tools may need to make a special effort to gather semantic information, rather than describing exceptions for "extreme cases". -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
