Chinese and Japanese do not use white space to separate words or other linguistic constructs. Therefore in these languages white space should not be introduced between characters. The white space collapsing rules in CSS2.1 do allow UAs to collapse white space surrounding a line feed to nothing; however this is not normatively required, and only IE has implemented this behavior. Additionally, the css3-ruby spec still does not define its interaction with white space collapsing rules. Even the line break transformation rules were normatively defined (which they will be in css3-text), to correctly collapse away white space between the base characters when using Pinyin ruby, the white space processing rules would have to ignore the ruby text. Given these complications, it is therefore safer to not include such white space in the source markup, and the HTML5 spec should adopt such a practice in its examples. -- 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.
