http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10808 --- Comment #53 from Aharon Lanin <aharon.lists.lanin@gmail.com> 2011-01-09 10:10:50 UTC --- (In reply to comment #52) > I'm confused by the last comment. What exactly are the changes you want and > why? By "the last comment", I guess you mean the last paragraph of comment 51. What bothers me is that while most of the directional effects of the dir attribute (like those of the bdo and bdi elements) are explicitly documented, it is not documented that the pre and textarea elements significantly modify the effects of dir=auto. That this happens only in the presentation layer, via the default sylesheet, is irrelevant: the effects of bdo are also entirely defined by the default stylesheet, but are nevertheless explicitly documented. I would therefore suggest something like the following note (after "For example, the rendering section in this specification defines a mapping from this attribute to the CSS 'direction' and 'unicode-bidi' properties, and CSS defines rendering in terms of those properties."): "Please note that this mapping is significantly modified for the pre and textarea elements, to the effect that dir=auto on these elements determines the base direction of each bidi paragraph of these elements' content independently." -- 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.
