issue-77 (Re: ACTION-334 - check use of "quote" and "val")

Hi Mārcis, all,

I filed an issue for this since it may need a change in the draft. At
http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-its20-20121206/#html5-selection-precedence
we say "2. global selection in documents "(using mechanism of external 
global rules or inline global rules)", but we don't say what should 
happen if both external and inline rules are present. We probably should 
clarify this. While doing this we might also try to resolve the comment 
from Chase and Kevin, see
https://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/track/issues/70

Best,

Felix
