There is also the issue of the separators / slash and . dot in the browser address bar. In order for the rest of my explanation to make sense I should say that I am using the alternate root server <http://cesidianroot.net/> for these tests and the consequence of that is that the China ccTLD . 中国 works (1) When I type in: 拉夫堡大学.中国/计算机科学 it works just fine because I am using U+002E FULL STOP and U+002F SOLIDUS/Slash (2) When I type in : 拉夫堡大学。中国/计算机科学 that also works fine because the browser automatically converts from U+3002 IDEOGRAPHIC FULL STOP (which is what I get when I type dot whilst in my Chinese Input Method) to U+002E FULL STOP (3) When I type in: 拉夫堡大学。中国／计算机科学 it does NOT work because I am using U+FF0F FULLWIDTH SOLIDUS which is what I get when I type slash whilst in my Chinese Input Method. When typing a Chinese web address I argue that it is very important that one should be able to remain within a Chinese Input Method. But ... For (3) I have to come out of the chinese input method to type the slash and then back into the chinese input method to type the pathname part So I think that the browser should automatically convert the U+FF0F FULLWIDTH SOLIDUS to U+002F SOLIDUS then one can remain in the chinese input method This issue may well occur in other languages (1)-(3) Tested using Safari, Firefox and Opera on MacOSX André Schappo On 15 Dec 2008, at 21:16, Richard Ishida wrote: > > Hello Leif, > > I added a couple of tests to my revised set of IDN and IRI tests, to > be found (unannounced as yet) at > http://www.w3.org/International/tests/html/test-resid-0.html > > Cheers, > RI > > ============ > Richard Ishida > Internationalization Lead > W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) > > http://www.w3.org/International/ > http://rishida.net/ > > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Leif Halvard Silli [mailto:lhs@malform.no] >> Sent: 12 December 2008 20:45 >> To: Richard Ishida >> Cc: www-international@w3.org >> Subject: Testing IRI fragment identifiers >> >> *I suggest that the I18N Resource identifiers tests at * >> >> * http://www.w3.org/International/tests/sec-idn-0* >> >> *gets updated with a test of how UAs reacts to URLs which contain >> an IRI >> in the fragment part.
