RE: Selection and Ruby

Hi Felix,

We might have a misunderstanding here: I am not proposing
something. I just note an observation. A proposal would
need to discuss the compatibility requirements you are
mentioning (which by the way really prevented me from
making a proposal ;-) ).

Best regards,
Christian

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.
