Web Notifications I18N Review: [I18N-ISSUE-161, I18N-ISSUE-162]

Hello, Web Notifications,

The Internationalization Core WG has actioned me [1] with relaying our review comments of your document:

   http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/notifications/raw-file/tip/Overview.html


Dated: 2012-06-27

We are tracking these items as I18N-ISSUE-161 and I18N-ISSUE-162 in Tracker [2].

Our comments are:

161: Notifications have no way to identify the language of their user-visible text (title and body). Knowledge about the language is often necessary for the user agent to select the right font or to pronounce the text correctly - see http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-lang-why


[there are similar comments from other WG members]

162: (Section 5) It's a little odd that title is converted to Unicode before setting the direction, while body has its direction set first. Can those be made consistent? [This is an editorial comment and minor]

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.
