Dear i18n WG,
During the call to transition the Widgets Packaging and Configuration
specification (P&C) [1] to CR, the Director requested that aside from
the MUST assertions the Web Apps WG test the optional aspects of the
specification in our test-suite [2].
As you are aware, to facilitate the localization of text nodes within
XML elements in a configuration document, a user agent may support the
Internationalization Tag Set's its:span element and the its:dir
attribute (It is optional for a user agent to support other ITS elements
and attributes).
In order to test ITS support, the WebApps WG would appreciate some
guidance with designing a handful of test cases that the i18n WG would
consider suitable to provide interoperability across implementations.
The its:span element can be used as a child element of the following
elements of the configuration document. In addition, the its:dir
attribute can be used in the following elements of the configuration
document:
* name
* description
* author
* license
Any guidance or help the i18n WG can provide us with designing test
would be greatly appreciated. We are intending to transition this
document to Proposed Recommendation at the end of January, but we would
like to have the i18n tests done ASAP.
I'm happy to work on the tests, so long as someone from i18n can guide
me :) Hope the i18n WG can again help us out!
Kind regards,
Marcos
