    Richard added numbers of open issues alongside items - need to
    check what actually should be closed. Also a distinction made
    under "Other topics..." between "i18n WG discussing" and "Other
    monitoring": the former are list or bugzilla discussion lists
    which we have become involved with, the latter is just
    capturing threads or bugs that are potentially of interest to
    us. All are encouraged to raise issues of the latter type if
    they come across interesting threads.

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-113 - Work on tidying up Additional
    Requirements for Bidi in HTML & CSS over coming couple of
    months [on Aharon Lanin - due 2012-04-11].

    Richard is working on the bidi tutorial/articles, and plans to
    move them all forward together once the inline bidi article is
    finished. Working with Aharon on that. Heads up that it
    proposes a different approach to bidi inline markup, using more
    markup than previously but with simpler rules to follow.

    Norbert: what about the translate attribute article? Is this
    something Felix plans to do?

    Richard: I was thinking of reusing teh text of my recent blog
    post, but I don't have bandwidth for that yet.

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-114 - Send email about Multilingual
    Web Sites CG to list [on Richard Ishida - due 2012-04-11].

    <aharon> perfectly happy I

    Discussion about adding to the core objectives page a section
    about 'liaisons' and implications of that. Richard to add. Can
    list ECMAScript (Norbert), Unicode (Richard & Addison), IRI
    (?), ePub (Koji).

    We should expect to have periodic updates from people involved
    in those activities (nothing heavy or formal!).

    If anyone feels that the list of objectives should be changed,
    please contact Richard.

    Eventually we should also add objectives that we are not yet
    currently working on, in a separate section lower down the
    page.
