    scribe: had f2f last week

    felix: thanks for all the comments
    ... went through everything
    ... wrote replies
    ... editing to follow
    ... thanks for the non-i18n comments
    ... wanted to ensure we mentioned
    ... don't know best way to address ruby/direction comments
    ... in terms of ruby did see consensus whether to clarify or
    drop
    ... both ruby and direction are in flux in html5
    ... implementers: could make normative, could take from its1.0
    ... but maybe a bad idea to make normative stuff that isn't in
    html5
    ... talking to PLH
    ... and robin berjon helping edit
    ... keep normative, but find way to update
    ... ??

    addison: direction still same, only being extended (can extend
    later???)

    norbert: keep as 1.0, but add note and refer to changes coming?

    richard: will html5 finalize in time for its spec? probably no
    ... and can't be guaranteed
    ... with @dir, small issue in my mind
    ... at a global level, having such-and-such direction on an
    element is fine
    ... its suggests local market for rlo/lro?
    ... ruby also has this issue
    ... local markup is out of sync

    <fsasaki>
    [19]http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/i
    ts20/its20.html#ruby-implementation

      [19] 
http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#ruby-implementation

    felix: look at latest spec

    <fsasaki> its:rubyRule selector="/text/body/img[$1\47]/@alt">
    <its:rubyText>World Wide Web Consortium</its:rubyText>
    </its:rubyRule>

    felix: haven't seen anyone write xpath expression for ruby
    ... no one has impmented, rendering, etc.
    ... what would be the value?

    norbert: because ruby not implements, should just drop?

    richard: step back a sec.
    ... had in ITS1.0; were there implementations?
    ... do those count, if so?

    <fsasaki> [20]https://www.w3.org/International/its/tests

      [20] https://www.w3.org/International/its/tests

    felix: impl tests for serializing data model

    <fsasaki>
    [21]http://www.w3.org/International/its/tests/test1/EX-ruby-poi
    nter-1-result.xml

      [21] 
http://www.w3.org/International/its/tests/test1/EX-ruby-pointer-1-result.xml

    felix: if you process global ruby rules
    ... could make tests for 2.0
    ... no take up for past 5 years
    ... XLIFF 2.0 wants directionality

    addison: unsurprising no ruby impl: assymetry in source/target

    felix: time/funding pressure
    ... not stable at 2.0, have a note
    ... plan for 2.1 that could provide normative representation
    ... for direction and ruby for non-html environments (e.g.
    xliff)

    norbert: just drop ruby because can't go to rec without 2
    interop impls

    addison: +1

    richard: what to do with directionality?
    ... what's there is "important" and continues to be relevant,
    so keep
    ... is it that hard to implement??

    <fsasaki> [22]http://tinyurl.com/its20-testsuite-dashboard

      [22] http://tinyurl.com/its20-testsuite-dashboard

    felix: instability of html5 is only problem
    ... express in a note that changes could impact it

    norbert: richard, you mentioned rlo/lro problem?

    richard: just drop lro/rlo bit?

    <fsasaki>
    [23]http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-its20-20121206/#directionality

      [23] http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-its20-20121206/#directionality

    felix: the 'meat' of directionality in ITS 1 or 2 is just four
    bullet points
    ... so can parse whatever is there into xliff

    richard: think that xhmtl2 and css both have rlo/lro
    ... local elements could have overrides in block elements
    ... but html5 doesn't work that way

    norbert: add note that rlo and lro not useful in html5 but may
    be in other formats

    felix: just transport values, don't translate them
    ... XLIFF2 being developed
    ... question whether being transported or being interpreted
    ... but ITS is just the transport, not making this decision

    <scribe> ACTION: norbert: coordinate proposing text for ITS
    directionality with richard [recorded in
