#121: BIDI: Some users are requiring right-to-left label ordering. Comment (by adil@…): I think I should clarify what I meant: Right now if you have a 'simple' URL that is all in Arabic it will be rendered right-to-left even given the restrictions of this document. So, using the normal bidi notation (capitals for rtl characters): Logical order: `http://ABC.DEF.GHI/JKL` Appears as: `http://LKJ/IHG.FED.CBA` Or without the http.. : `LKJ/IHG.FED.CBA` This is why I believe the current situation satisfies the 'side of a bus URL' criteria for a small subset of right-to-left URLs. The point is to strictly define what that subset is and create tools and documents to verify it so that web sites and browsers can display them. Also within this subset of URLs it is possible to have browsers draw these in the URL bar right-to-left and right aligned. But I do not know if this document is the place for such a definition. -- ---------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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:9> iri <http://tools.ietf.org/wg/iri/>
