https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16979 Summary: i18n-ISSUE-119: provide example of language detection fallback Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: addison@lab126.com QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org 3.2.3.3 The lang and xml:lang attributes http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/elements.html#the-lang-and-xml:lang-attributes For this much discussed paragraph: -- If none of the node's ancestors, including the root element, have either attribute set, but there is a pragma-set default language set, then that is the language of the node. If there is no pragma-set default language set, then language information from a higher-level protocol (such as HTTP), if any, must be used as the final fallback language instead. In the absence of any such language information, and in cases where the higher-level protocol reports multiple languages, the language of the node is unknown, and the corresponding language tag is the empty string. -- Wouldn't an example be useful? I can imagine implementers not following what the heck we're talking about. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
