Re: new draft, list of bugs to be filed

I have sent to Richard Ishida of the i18n WG the bugs to be filed on HTML5,
so the i18n WG can track them. Sometime today, they will become visible on
http://www.w3.org/International/reviews/0802-html5/ (it's numbers 9 through
30), and Richard will mass-upload them to the HTML WG database.

(Wipe tears of happiness and exhaustion ...)

At about the same time, Richard will also make available another editor's
draft of the proposal (
http://www.w3.org/International/docs/html-bidi-requirements/), where I've
updated sections 2.2 (first-strong now exactly aqs in UBA), 3.4, 3.6, 3.10
(does not yet include the proposed new CSS property, though), and 3.12.

I will be offline until Monday.

Regards to all!
