#121: BIDI: Some users are requiring right-to-left label ordering. Comment (by duerst@…): Hello Shawn, Two points of clarification: - At http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/iri/trac/ticket/121#comment:4, you write "Indeed, the proposed behavior uses bidi override marks to get the desired behavior.", but it's not override marks, it's embedding marks. Otherwise, not a single RTL domain label or path component would be readable. (maybe that's what you meant, but in that case, please be careful with terminology) - At http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/iri/trac/ticket/121#comment:7, you wrote about partial web names in all-Arabic on the side of a bus, e.g. CCC.BBB.AAA. In this specific case, the current spec (RFC 3987 and draft- ietf-iri-bidi-guidilines-02.txt) will do the right thing (because the Unicode Bidi algorithm reorders by runs, not by components). In that case, no embedding may be necessary. This is explicitly mentioned: {{{ Also, a bidirectional relative IRI reference that only contains strong right- to-left characters and weak characters (such as symbols) and that starts and ends with a strong right-to-left character and appears in a text with right-to-left base directionality (such as used for Arabic or Hebrew) and is preceded and followed by whitespace and strong characters does not need an embedding. }}} -- ---------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: shawnste@… | Owner: draft-ietf-iri-bidi-guidelines@… Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: major | Milestone: Component: bidi- | Version: guidelines | Resolution: Severity: - | Keywords: bidi | ---------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Ticket URL: <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/iri/trac/ticket/121#comment:8> iri <http://tools.ietf.org/wg/iri/>
