--- Comment #23 from Jonathan Clark <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Christophe Strobbe from comment #22) > This is unambiguous for systems that process just the XML markup, for > example for conversion to DAISY (the original use case in 2011), where > correct language markup is important for text-to-speech conversion. I understand this is an inconvenient response, but the ODF standard makes clear that consumers must process content to determine which language attributes are effective for what characters (see ODF v1.4 20.358). The markup-only transformation described here would only work reliably for documents that don't contain any CTL or CJK content. Microsoft's OOXML works the same way. I consider this a flaw in both standards. This design causes a lot of problems (Bug 166008), and I hope we can eventually transition to something that works better for use cases like this one (Bug 162336, Bug 148257). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
