Bidi in HTML5 blog post

    [16]http://www.w3.org/International/wiki/Html-bidi-isolation

      [16] http://www.w3.org/International/wiki/Html-bidi-isolation

    richard: proposal to have a blog post
    ... aharon wrote most
    ... includes new attrs
    ... and things we discussed in html wg
    ... aharon not convinced that suggestions are all valid
    ... such as css being used to get around backwards compat
    ... need to add more info about backwards compat
    ... and that aharon and I think rli/lri are good values for
    @dir
    ... need to decide where to publish
    ... please look at it

    <scribe> ACTION: addison: remind everyone to review
    Html-bidi-isolation blog post for next week [recorded in

    richard: if you scroll down you see pink background bits
    ... these cover html5
    ... propose that
    ... this document proposes that you use markup everywhere dir
    changes
    ... propose that we hide the html5 stuff for now
    ... because html5 is still changing

    addison: want to ensure that markup should be consistent going
    forwards

    norbert: any breaking changes?

    richard: shouldn't be
    ... don't want to say <bdi><cite> if we then change to <cite
    dir="rli">
    ... also changed some of article structure
    ... added some of norbert's suggestions and such
    ... old structure was more complicated
    ... so simplified

    <scribe> ACTION: addison: remind everyone to review

    richard: similar story here
    ... think this is ready for wide review
    ... perhaps look at it first
    ... want to incorporate any additional issues folks are aware
    of
    ... may want to deprecate the other article we have

    richard: above link is article to obsolete

Number formats in HTML5

    [24]https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17918

    For example, a user agent might support numeric input in the
    user's local format, converting it to the format required for
    submission as described above. This might include handling
    different grouping or decimal separators (such as "12.456,78",
    as customary in many European locales) or local digit shaping
    (such as the use of digits in Arabic, Persian, Devanagari,
    Thai, and other scripts) or a combination thereof.

    norbert: concerned about:

    User agents must not allow the user to set the value to a
    non-empty string that is not a valid floating-point number. If
    the user agent provides a user interface for selecting a
    number, then the value must be set to the best representation
    of the number representing the user's selection as a
    floating-point number. User agents should allow the user to set
    the value to the empty string.

    "user agents must not interpret user input to set the value to
    a non-empty string that is not a valid..."

    "user agents must not interpret input..."

    "user agents must not set the value..."

    user's input not desired in the conversation, it's just the
    user-agent's interactoin with the value

    richard: "the internal representation of the value supplied by
    the user"

    value => string

    12345,67

    <input lang=fr type=numeric>

    scribe: but browser is set to spanish... then fr should win

    123.456

    123,456

AOB?

    norbert: will send an email about things to be careful about in
    uts35
