Fantastic. Unfortunately, implementer feedback has raised concerns
about ITS and so the WG has put ITS features "at risk" (and marked
as
such in the soon to be released CR spec). We will see what happens
in
CR; hopefully implementers will understand the value of
implementing
it.
I noticed that in the transreq. Obviously the I18N WG is concerned about any such
feedback: can webapps please share what the concerns are? I know that many developers
consider bidi support "kind of scary"; I hope that the implementation issues
are not simply fear driven. Is there some way that the Internationalization community can
support implementers?
The concerns are that people won't implement ITS (or that authors can
use the appropriate Unicode markers to achieve the same thing as ITS).
Kind regards,
Marcos
