http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10661 Gregory J. Rosmaita <oedipus@hicom.net> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|WONTFIX | --- Comment #10 from Gregory J. Rosmaita <oedipus@hicom.net> 2010-09-30 17:36:18 UTC --- (In reply to comment #9) > Still no new information added since the last resolution. in the w3c manual of style, it is written: in section 11.2 "Spelling" [http://www.w3.org/2001/06/manual/#Parts] QUOTE # Spell-check using a U.S. English dictionary. Append ",spell" to a W3C URI to invoke W3C's spell checker. # Free dictionaries are also available on the Ispell home page [ISPELL] for UNIX and the Excalibur home page [EXCAL] for Mac OS. # W3C uses Merriam-Webster's CollegiateŽ Dictionary, 10th Edition [M-W], on the Web as the spelling arbiter because it is free, on-line, and available to every technical report author and editor. If a word does not appear there, use the American HeritageŽ Dictionary, 4th Edition [AH]. Other dictionaries are used as needed (for example, Random House and Webster's unabridged, Oxford and Oxford Concise). # W3C uses U.S. English (e.g., "standardise" should read "standardize" and "behaviour" should read "behavior"). UNQUOTE and in section 11.9 "Markup" [http://www.w3.org/2001/06/manual/#Markup] QUOTE * Give each page lang="en-US" on the html element for HTML, or xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US" on the html element for XHTML 1.0. * Use the span element and lang and xml:lang attributes for language changes within a page. UNQUOTE yes, the style guide contains recommendations, not requirements, but i do find it compelling to this discussion, though, that the document simply states, "W3C uses U.S. English" -- 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.
