bidi requirements doc

http://www.w3.org/International/docs/html-bidi-requirements/editme.html
richard: ported to respec
... thing that's difficult is what to do about status updates
... often says "currently state is <x>"
... changed in some cases "state in HTML4 is"
... alternative is
... see section 2.2.1
... turned update into "note"
... so "publish in original form, but brief updates on what
happened"
(discussion)
addison: some mumble about "updates are as of pub date, no
future updates"
richard: the one link is a googledoc so not appropriate
reference
... make a wiki page or similar?
addison: make as appendix?
richard: hmm... could do...?
<r12a> [28]http://rishida.net/scripts/bopomofo/ontheweb
[28] http://rishida.net/scripts/bopomofo/ontheweb
richard: went back and reviewed CSS discussions
... people talking about bopomofo had a partial view of the
world
... so tried to summarize the overall picture
... both "what ruby does" and what we know about it
... further discussion refined for use cases
... document reasons why we don't want to do things people
repeatedly suggest
... current thinking is that we would create new fonts
... that would put tone marks in right place
... ted o'connor just sent an email saying apple working on it,
think browser should position tone mark
... no evidence in testing yet
... bobby created font and I created a test for it
... some people bobby knows, should say
<r12a> [29]http://rishida.net/scripts/bopomofo/ontheweb#forward
[29] http://rishida.net/scripts/bopomofo/ontheweb#forward
richard: four tone marks
... three of which are like diacritics
... not combining though
... fourth is spacing (light tone)
... question is where to put it
... light tone goes before the bopomofo letters
... IMEs enforce typing the tone mark last
... bobby has a tool that looks up bopomofo and creates markup
for you
... msft has something similar
addison: problem is that tone mark should be first in document
(so reposition)
richard: looking for authoritative references
... documents done "carefully" put tone mark first
... can find "bad" examples
addison: concerned that a font is probably not the right
solution: prefer the mark to appear where encoded?
richard: the above #forward says what is likely to happen
unless apple pushes back
... only works for ruby unless you have a specific context in
mind
... lots of pages of plain bopomofo text
... transcriptions and such
addison: hard on implementers, since have to integrate fonts
into overall scehem
... plus it's not CSS or HTML
(further discussion)
intial letter alignment
richard: have tracker issue
... css inline document specifies one way of doing drop cap
... and there might be more
... spec currently has two properties
... first one is "want this to be x lines deep and x lines
high"
... so drops down so many lines
... (will send email to clarify)
... not size of letter
... size from baseline to cap head
... not same height as ascender
... so things like circumflex stick out the top
... and descenders like ogonek or on 'g' stick out bottom
... and have to make "additional space" for those things
... but size of letter is from cap height and baseline
... cap height line aligns with top of first line
... cap height is not something you worry about in devanagari
... somnath sent me basic idea is a "box" certain number of
lines high
... and whole character fits into box
... if without subjoining characters, it would look big
... if you had a lot of subjoining, character would look quite
small
... a lot of languages have colored boxes you fit character
into
... slight additional complication
... you do certain alignments
... align "hanging baseline"
... if you have one
... try to align with first line of capped text
... box is positioned relative to a glyph feature
... vowel sign above actually changes top of box
... unclear if the bottom of box changes to correspond
addison: a "when you see it, know it's right" situation :-)
richard: works with deva or bengali
... but not with some other scripts? tibetan......
... read a long list of emails yesterday
<somnath> need detailed feedback on my document to work towards
an acceptable solution.
<r12a> somnath see earlier in the meeting, i am half-way
through a response to you
<r12a> but i want to build in the wider picture at the same
time
<r12a> so it may take a little while longer
<somnath> sure ok
<DennisTan> Have to drop off. Bye.
