RE: [Issue-70] Defined order of precedence missing inherited local values [Action-437]

Hi Felix, I was looking at Chase's example.

Here's a suggestion for the addition to 5.5 between "global selections" and "data category defaults". It should clarify the example if I'm not mistaken. Note though, he says "his instinct is that inherited local markup has precedence over global explicit rules" and this is currently not the case which might confuse other people. The more common case being <html translate=no> not overriding existing global rules on specific elements.



3.   Inheritance from a parent element node according to data category specific inheritance rules (inheritance<http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-its20-20121206/#datacategories-defaults-etc>). ITS information is inherited from the closest parent itself selected via ITS markup or global rules. If said parent is selected via both explicit local ITS markup and global rules, the local ITS markup has precedence in the inheritance.



Cheers,

Fredrik

Thanks for the ping, David. Is there a co-editor willing to take the action item including editing over (Arle, Jirka, Shaun, Yves)?
