It is often useful to specify a "base" directionality for an entire document or block of elements rather than having to repeat it over-and-over on each affected element. I can agree that it might not make sense on every element and perhaps we should look at which structural elements in P&C make sense as a place to set a base directionality or directionality override. > > I also agree about making <span> available inside <license>. In fact, it is probably the *most* useful inside the license element. In which elements the use of <span> is expected should now be clear in the spec [1]: [[ Context in which this element is used: As a child of the name, author, license, and/or description element. ]] http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets/#the-span-element-and-its-attributes -- Marcos Caceres http://datadriven.com.au
