Hi Yves, I think this is difficult to determine in the general case. Pointer allows us to define a 'convergence' or 'coexistence' path with HTML markup usage we already know about or that someone else might think up without requiring a new attribute. http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-its20-20120731/#domain is a good example where ex 49 shows how meta type DC.subject could already be used in a similar manner as ITS domain, and hence the use of a pointer serves a useful function in allowing both markup functions to co-exist. One could image this happening with other proprietary uses of 'meta'. But perhaps we should look at this on a case by case basis to decide if we think the Pointer option represents useful use case for HTML? cheers, Dave On 20/08/2012 15:30, Yves Savourel wrote: > --- Pointers and HTML > > I wonder if the pointers mechanism really make sense in HTML (in general, not just for localization quality): Since HTML is a specific format we shouldn't have to provide a mechanism to map constructs that are equivalent to our its-... attributes. >Received on Monday, 20 August 2012 16:54:37 UTC
