I would hate to make it dependent on the lang attribute, for the reason given above, but also because the exact language of the data is very rarely known. Also, it is possible that adding isolation by default would break existing documents. This is also the argument against doing isolation by default any time the dir attribute is set. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
