Only a small number of languages would benefit, and web developers would have to keep track of which browsers automatically supported which languages. Templates would need to be able to provide different structural markup for different languages and different web browsers for consistency across language Or alternatively web developers do not rely on language for direction, in which case web browser automatically setting direction based on language is a waste of developemnt effort for little or no gain. -- Andrew Cunningham Senior Project Manager, Research and Development Social Inclusion Unit Public Libraries and Community Engagement State Library of Victoria 328 Swanston Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia Ph: +61-3-8664-7430 Mobile: Email: a <andrewc@vicnet.net.au>cunningham@slv.vic.gov.au http://www.openroad.net.au/ http://research.vicnet.net.au/ http://www.mylanguage.gov.au/ http://www.vicnet.net.au/ http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/
