Sam Ruby and Dan Connolly asked me to send proposed issue closures in individual emails, with clear subject lines, and Cc'd to the issue originator when possible. Apologies for the spam. If there are no objections, I will close this issue on 2009-09-03. ------------ ISSUE-48: UA-q-quotes - Should user-agents generate quotes for the q element http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/48 This issue raises two complaints: (a) the draft instructs authors to add quotes to Q elements manually; and (b) the draft makes no clear user-agent recommendation regarding blockquote. I believe both of these issues are now addressed, and the interoperability issue with Q is addressed. The rendering section now requires that user agents add quotes to Q elements: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#punctuation-and-decorations Since rendering is generally specified and BLOCKQUOTE doesn't require adding quotes, it should be assumed UAs are expected not to add quotes, as would be consistent with existing practice. Thus, I believe the problems raised by this issue are solved in current drafts. I suggest closing. Regards, Maciej
