I don't think there are any line break semantics above, it's all presentation. Can someone from the CSS working group confirm whether the LS character in content will cause a line break without a bidi paragraph break, and cite the relevant part of the relevant spec? Given that, I think we'd be good to go with just adding an attribute to <br> to use LS rather than LF (though I'm still not convinced we have any use cases for <br> _without_ this feature, so I'm tempted to make the attribute required if there's any RTL content around the <br> element). -- 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.
