Re: Selection and Ruby

Hi Christian,

I don't remember if Richard said this within the group, but from my  
understanding compatibility with the existing ruby specification has very  
high priority. At the December f2f we decided for this reason to have only  
a selector solution for "legacy" attribute content, see  
http://www.w3.org/International/its/itstagset/itstagset#ruby-sec . Does  
your proposal take that decision into account? See also  
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-i18n-its/2006JanMar/0040.html  
(search for "4.5.2 New subheading "Handling legacy content").

Regards, Felix.
