For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: <wbr> is not equivalent to soft hyphen. According to your UAX#14 link, """ Unlike U+2010 hyphen, which always has a visible rendition, the character U+00AD soft hyphen (shy) is an invisible format character that merely indicates a preferred intraword line break position. If the line is broken at that point, then whatever mechanism is appropriate for intraword line breaks should be invoked, just as if the line break had been triggered by another hyphenation mechanism, such as a dictionary lookup. """ http://unicode.org/reports/tr14/#SoftHyphen This is not how <wbr> behaves: it never inserts a hyphen. Consider this test-case in Firefox and Chrome: http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/1050 <wbr> breaks with no hyphen, while ­ breaks with a hyphen. Thus the two are different in existing implementations, and we can't require them to be the same. (IE/Opera have a different interpretation of <wbr>, but it still doesn't match ­.) It's possible that <wbr> is the same as &zwsp;, but the latter might have other effects that aren't coming to mind. -- 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.
