richard: some browsers implement escapes in CSS incorrectly
... and you have to enter UTF-16 surrogate pairs to get a
supplementary character
... and it's not supposed to work that way - and it creates a
usability issue for authors; charmod frowns upon it
addison: goodness gracious!!
richard: call on the mustard in CharMod
<scribe> ACTION: addison: write to CSS style list strongly opposing
surrogate pair escapes in CSS and citing CharMod [recorded in
[24]http://www.w3.org/2012/01/25-i18n-minutes.html#action01]
<trackbot> Created ACTION-91 - Write to CSS style list strongly
opposing surrogate pair escapes in CSS and citing CharMod [on
Addison Phillips - due 2012-02-01].
Ruby Discussion
koji: I see a few threads running in parallel
... Ian doesn't believe double-sided ruby is common enough
... so I gathered some example
addison: waiting for statistics to share
koji: another thread is about fallback
... supporting idea of <rb><rb><rt><rt> sequence
addison: concerned about the word-by-word thread
koji: fallback issue
... similarity to letter-by-letter example because
... we want to join words when we do fallback
richard: eric made some comments along those lines
... assumed that if you wanted to find word boundaries, as in jukugo
... then use mutliple ruby elements
<ruby> <rb>tokyo</rb><rt>tok</rt><rt>yo</rt></ruby>
<r12a> <ruby><rb>tok</rb><rb>yo</rb><rt>tok</rt><rt>yo</rt></ruby>

richard: think mono ruby and jukugo ruby use same markup
... and group ruby is different
... jukugo looks sometimes *like* group ruby
koji: changing markup to build group ruby is a hack until we have
css-ruby spec
... when text is unbreakable, then using group ruby markup is okay
... but when text is breakable, but can style as group
... so change markup
... if text can break, markup should always indicate where breaks
are
... and then can style as breaking or non-breaking
richard: don't have to change markup, just style with no-break
koji: might need one more style then
richard: marked up as mono ruby, but want to behave as group ruby
... without markup change
... want it to behave and look like group ruby
... so if six base characters and four hiragana character
... you want the four distributed evenly across
<matial> sorry, have to leave now
richard: 11 february date
... reading threads, it's very complicated
... and really need something very simple to summarize
... and would like additional approaches and pros/cons in short
simple prose to add to wiki
... another question arising from the email thread is do we need
<rb> mandatory or optional
... may be a case, as in A12Y, for rb in simple ruby since voice
browsers need to work with every type of markup
... IE doesn't do a lot of the newer elements except via the shiv,
and rb could be added to the shiv just like we recently added bdi
<joconner> must drop off the phone now but will remain on IRC
richard: does (someone) have more time to go through the pile of
emails and pull out key points to add to wiki? (Koji agreed to help
with that)
AOB?
