Re: Bidi, HTML5 and CSS3, test bidi-html5-019

Thanks for the answer.

I now understand that <br> is really intended to be a paragraph 
separator, as far as bidi is concerned.

I also understand better the relationship between HTML and CSS.

I am still a bit confused but before I can express that, a couple of 
questions:

What does that mean in terms of implementation?

- that in the bidi computation, the state after X1-X6 processing of the 
paragraph before the paragraph boundary is used as the initial state for 
the X1-X6 processing of the paragraph after that boundary (really, 
overriding the second X1)? That state being: the current embedding 
level, the directional status override, the stack of underlying X1-X6.

- that only some of that state is carried over? if so, how much?

- the meaning is in terms of HTML/CSS only, something like:

    <span style='direction:d; unicode-bidi:u'>...<br>...</span>


is equivalent to:

    <span style='direction:d; unicode-bidi:u'>...<span><br><span
    style='direction:d; unicode-bidi:u'>...</span>


(with the property present on the second only if it is present on the 
first; and of course, with the similar treatment of relevant HTML 
elements  attributes). If that is the case, what are the exact rules?

- something else?


Also, what is the eor of the last run of the paragraph before, and the 
sor of the first run of the paragraph after?


Thanks,
Eric.
