Comments arising from or about my work on http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-bidi-controls.html: [1] the table in 3.3 lists only </xhtml:bdo> as alternative markup for PDF and says "when used to terminate RLO or RLO only, otherwise ignore" I believe you also have to use it to terminate RLE and LRE sequences too, don't you? [2] The previous point may mean that I need to change my version of the table. I'm also thinking of adding the code points or at least putting them in the same order as above. [3] Note, in passing, that the table in UXML uses <td><b>text</b></td> to create table headers, rather than just <th>text</th> - probably ought to be changed on the next iteration. [4] Opera, of course, doesn't show the example of correct Hebrew correctly. For the guidelines we agreed to provide pdfs to show that stuff properly. Perhaps we should do the same for Q&As that contain complex scripts?

You can find it at: > http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-bidi-controls.htm l If there are no strong objections to this course of action I propose the following: - that we send comments on my new Q&A to the list asap - that we mop up remaining comments during tomorrow's meeting - that I publish Wednesday evening (or early Thurs am my time) - that we publish subsequent Q&A's on Wednesday evenings (since I have been finalising edits at the beginning of the week lately, that would be a good thing anyhow). The last point would produce a publication schedule as follows: 1 announce new Q&A to the list Monday (latest, but as far in advance as you like) 2 comment on list 3 discuss at Wednesday meeting 4 contributor makes changes based on feedback by Friday 5 RI and contributor consolidate changes and prepare on the site Monday & Tuesday 6 publish on Wednesday RI ============ Richard Ishida W3C tel: +44 1753 480 292 http://www.w3.org/International/ http://www.w3.org/People/Ishida/
